Framingham Police Warn Against Netflix Scam

Framingham Police are warning Netflix subscribers against a "very active phishing effort currently targeting Netflix users" and seeking to steal personal and financial information.

Warn police, "If you are a Netflix customer and you receive an email asking you to update your membership information, don’t respond!"

The email will ask subscribers to update their Netflix login information. A second screen will then appear, asking users to validate their payment information by providing various credit card information and their social security number. They'll then be redirected to the real Netflix homepage.

"The phishing email looks surprisingly realistic and uses legitimate servers that were compromised, so security software may not recognize the email as a phishing attempt," police warn.
