How to check a Netflix email

Billing scams copy Netflix’s red and black. The sender address is where they slip.

  1. Copy the real address

    Tap the sender name to reveal the full address and paste that, not the name shown.

  2. Check the domain

    See whether it is netflix.com, when the domain was registered, and which provider runs the mailbox. Free.

  3. Check the app

    Open the Netflix app or type netflix.com yourself. A real billing problem shows up in your account.

Netflix scam email questions

What address does Netflix send email from?

Account and billing emails come from netflix.com or a subdomain of it. Anything else claiming to be Netflix is not.

Will Netflix ask for my card details by email?

No. Netflix says it will never ask for personal information such as card numbers, bank details or passwords in an email. Update payment only inside the app or on netflix.com typed yourself.

Where do I report a fake Netflix email?

Forward it to phishing@netflix.com, then delete it.

I entered my card on a fake Netflix page. What now?

Call your bank or card issuer using the number on the back of the card, then change your Netflix password from the app.

Does the sender find out I checked?

No. Nothing is sent to the address and nobody is notified. The check reads DNS records, the domain registration and public sources only.
