Netflix Scam

Most of you might have used to or have Netflix to stream videos at your houses, however many sites are trying to "trick" you by making their site similar to the original Netflix web site.
 A scam was found earlier this month, which a pop-up message or an e-mail directed the user to the "fake web site", making them thinking that they're signing into a legit website.




  • Here's what happens: 
  1.  You log on to their site, and they inform you that "your account has  been suspended". So far  they've got your email and your Netflix password, still it's a good time to leave and ignore the phishing site, they haven't got much information... yet!
  2. There's and phone number provided, which leads you to tech support scam, they ask you from some of your basic info, and then a REMOTE access to your computer, how crazy is that?
  3. They'll download loads of malware and steal pretty much everything you have on your computer..
  4. If you are steal on the phone they'll ask for your credit card info, from there, you just have to hang up the phone, because they know everything about you. so a simple add could be pretty dangerous, Be careful!!!
