Wait a minute! Why does Netflix need a credit card to provide free service? The scammer who is operating the bogus site hopes you won’t think to ask that question and will instead provide the requested information, focusing on all that free content you’re about to enjoy. There, they will be asked to fill in some personal data including credit card information. People who click the link will be taken to a website made to look like a Netflix page. “Due to the pandemic, Netflix is offering everyone a free year of service to help you stay at home,” one of the messages says. Scammers are sending out texts offering free Netflix service for a year.
