Recent emails that falsely claimed to have come from Netflix

As shown above via an example, they did not have the correct logo (all capital letters with a curved bottom). Also, rather than Netflix they came from obviously incorrect addresses, ending in .org rather than .com.

 

Netflix has a Help Center web page where you can get instructions on where to forward such phishing emails. On August 28, 2020 I blogged about Another fraudulent ‘Nutflix’ email, and on November 12, 2019 I blogged about Not a warning from Netflix.
