Residents in Mississauga and Brampton should watch out for this text scam, specifically if they use Netflix, the highly popular streaming service provider.
Recently, a local resident reported receiving a text message which alleged that the payment information linked with their Netflix account was not correct.
The text came with a link, urging the user to click it and update their payment information in a bid to “avoid suspension.” The text looks like this:
The text is a scam as Netflix reveals it will never request customers to fill their information in a text or email (including credit or debit card numbers, bank account details, and passwords).
Also, the streaming service says it will never ask customers to make payment through a third-party vendor or website.
Netflix said: “Scammers can’t get information from you unless you give it to them. So don’t click any links in the messages or reply to them.”
