You can never be too careful in today's world, especially online. Carefully worded ads, Arabian princes waiting to give you their fortune, and threats of subscription cancellation. Some scams are easier spotted than others and this Netflix scam can be a tad tricky if you skim over the email.

Has Netflix told you to "Restart Membership"?

It's an email that looks like it is from Netflix notifying you that your membership has been suspended after a failed attempt to validate your billing information. They then ask you to act within 48 hours and is signed "The Netflix Team." The email even appears to be on Netflix electronic letterhead. These guys are good.

Here's what the email looks like...

The problem is that when you click "Restart Membership" you are redirected to a site that looks just like the real Netflix website. Users are then asked to input their credit card info. Now the scammers have all your info put into their system and you're off to "Netflix and chill" without thinking twice.

I know it's a pain to take a few extra minutes and double check that things are legitimate, but you have to.
