The phony request looks like a legitimate e-mail from Netflix, with the company's logo following the same red and white color scheme at the top.
The e-mail claims that you need to update your billing and payment information. In order to do so, the e-mail includes a link that redirects you to a site that could potentially install malware on your computer or smartphone.
The e-mail will not address you by your first name, but instead, begin with "Hi dear."
Netflix is reminding users to never click on any attachments or open any unexpected links in an e-mail or text message.
The streaming service also warns against sharing your login or credit card information after clicking on a link.
If you have fallen victim to this scam, change your Netflix password immediately and contact your local bank to make sure nothing was compromised.
