Netflix customers warned of phishing scam

Netflix customers are being warned of a phishing scam that has been reported in recent days.

An email claiming to be from the streaming service will say a customer must update their billing details or else lose their account.

However, this has been identified has fake.

Technology correspondent Jess Kelly says people should not click any links if they get such an email.

"What you should do is close out of the email and go to netflix.com on a computer and go to the my account section and you'll be able to see straight away if there is an issue with your billing information.

"If you are someone who has changed their card recently using a new card that type of thing just do it all through netflix.com and going through an email"
