Hi All
Just saw this news article and although most of probably would not get fooled I just thought that some of us might if we are using overseas Netflix accounts :-)

Unfortunately the majority of people who fall for these scams are the elderly. Articles like this help with educating those who don't know any better.
I am very doubtful that you would see any elderly lurks in OzB. Pretty hard site to browse imho, espcially for computer illiterate elderly, and then also the idiots category (for all ages).
And for the smart ones, well, smart. Wont fall into the traps.
I was referring to the news article.
No sympathy for anyone who falls for this crap.
Scuzi,

Parle du francais.
Bloody Nigerians…
Lucky i didnt fall for this scam. I used itunes card to pay for my netfix last week. The nice indian lady over the phone update my membership to deluxe for free and included a virus scanner and lifetime tech support. Stoked.
This type of scam (account payment problems) isn't new. If its not Netflix, then it's PayPal, telstra, next new company etc.
Reading the article without being able to identify and understand how and why its a scam, doesn't mean you won't fall for the next scam with a different company.
How to notice a scam.
Espcially
Seriously, only idiots would click the links.
