Step by step
How to check a message that claims to be from Netflix
- 1
Look at the actual sender address, not just the name. Tap or hover over the name to reveal it. It must end in @netflix.com, or a subdomain of one.
- 2
Do not use links or phone numbers from the message. Type netflix.com into your browser or open the official Netflix app, and check your account there.
- 3
Slow down when you see urgency, small fees, gift cards, crypto, or requests for codes and passwords. Those are the levers every scam pulls.

Still unsure? Paste the sender address or link into the checker above.
Questions
Netflix scam FAQ
What email address does Netflix use?
Genuine Netflix email comes from addresses ending in @netflix.com, or a subdomain of those (for example something@mail.netflix.com). An address on any other domain, even one containing "netflix", is not Netflix.
Can scammers fake an @netflix.com email address?
We are running the first check on netflix.com. Until then, assume a sender address alone proves nothing and verify by visiting netflix.com yourself.
Are there websites pretending to be Netflix?

What should I do if I clicked a link in a fake Netflix message?
Do not enter anything else. If you typed a password, change it at netflix.com straight away and turn on two-step sign-in. If you entered card or bank details, call your bank using the number on your card. Then report the message using the guide below.
