#Netflix telephone number download
Once I called the number, the rogue support representative had me download a “NetFlix Support Software”:
If you do a bit of a search you will find out this is not the official hotline, so this warranted a deeper investigation. In order to fix this issue, you are urged to call “Netflix” at a 1-800 number. Of course it stole my credentials:īut it also displayed a message saying my account had been suspended: Until I realized it wasn’t, or at least that there was something more to it. But typically, people would receive this phishing scam through an email or a pop up. It happens the number used in this scam was the same as one I had spotted just a few days prior. I’ve been tracking tech support scams for about a year, documenting company names, websites, phone numbers. I came across what I first thought was a typical phishing scam targeting Netflix: Many people have asked how I got to this. As if the Microsoft ruse was no longer in fashion, they are impersonating other popular companies, such as Netflix.
Tech Support scammers are really creative these days.
