Streaming Service Spoof

Consumers have reported that scammers are sending fraudlent emails posing as legitimate streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu, in an attempt to steal personal identifying information and credit card numbers. The fraudulent emails often mimic the branding of popular subscription services and will use scare tactics, such as claiming your account has been locked or payment has failed. The goal: get you to click a malicious link or share your financial information. Do not click these links. If you have an account for the streaming service, log in through their website/application directly, NOT from the e-mail to check your account status.
