If the images or links don't originate from a Netflix server then it should be flagged up by a spam manager.

Plus companies like Netflix will never ask you to update your credentials. Unless there is a legitimate reason

e-mail headers contain the origin and server information which can be used to trace where in the world it came from

Thanks for the heads up @Bambino

Though the first thing to wave a red flag for me is the opening 'greeting'

'Hi Dear' is not the usual way a company addresses it's customers!

As always @Bambino, thanks for a heads up on the latest scam.

 

I don't have a Netflix account, but why would that stop them, though like @Cleoriff I wouldn't expect to be addressed 'Hi Dear' either in a business communication.

 

Still always good to know the latest scam doing the rounds. You never know what's going to hit your in box.

Lover of all things Samsung. Currently using Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus 128gb
