Email Scam Pretends To Be Netflix

Email

A new email phishing scam is going around pretending to be a warning from Netflix.  The fake email says,  "Your Netflix Membership is on hold," and then asks for your credit card  details using threatening language.  Researchers at Malwarebytes say  it's a "fairly sophisticated" scam that uses a security certificate and a  website that looks like a legitimate Netflix login screen.  The streaming service assures customers that it will never ask for any  personal information to be sent over email.
