Netflix Query

[wiltsman]

Do you think the following email is genuine? I ask because it's asking me to finish setting up my Netflix account, the only thing is I'm not aware that I've ever done such a thing!

Wiltsman; At the top of the email you should see the name of the sender, probably 'Netflix (something)' if you click on it with your cursor you should see the real name of the sender.

At least that's what I do.

[ummmm]

Hey there.....says it all.

If you don't want Netflix, just delete it. If you do want Netflex, still delete it and go to their website.

ummmm, I was thinking it wasn't so much the "Hey there" as the "cheers". The first one is American, the second one is British.

Anyway, if you don't have a Netflix account and haven't been trying to set one up, just delete the email.

[wiltsman]

This is what I get Khandro, so I must presume it's genuine:
Netflix

Yes, I'll delete it, I only asked the question because I know that I did not make a request to have the Netflix channel.

Thanks for your replies.

[TheDevil]

Spam!

Do not respond or click on anything. Just delete and pretend it never happened.

[TheDevil]

The phone number is fake.

Forward the email to [email protected].

Delete the email.

Thank you for the further replies. I did think 'Hey there' was a strange introduction. I will treat it as spam and delete - thanks again.

Wilts; //This is what I get Khandro, so I must presume it's genuine:

If it just says Netfix, that's what it is.
If you don't want it delete it. But I have to add, we find Netflix worth havinggreat, but I wouldn't sign up to it from this, google it to find the proper link
