Handling Credit Card Fraud and Unauthorized Netflix Payments

 

How to Respond to Netflix Hacking and Credit Card Theft

If you receive a Netflix subscription confirmation message on a card that you haven’t used for Netflix in a while, it could be a sign of credit card theft. This often happens when card numbers are leaked during overseas travel or due to various other reasons, leading to unauthorized Netflix subscriptions. While the exact cause may be unknown, it is important to remain calm and take appropriate action.

Sometimes, even after canceling the payment and changing the password, the hacker might continue to attempt real-time Netflix subscriptions. In such cases, the hacker might also change the Netflix account password, preventing the actual owner from logging in.

Netflix offers 24/7 chat and phone support all year round. If the hacker changes the login password, you can still cancel the payment and update account information. 

Contact Your Card Issuer to Report a Lost or Stolen Card

If your card is compromised, contact your card issuer to report it as lost and request a reissue. This can be done anytime, even at night, via the card issuer's call center or mobile app.

1. Open the Netflix app.
2. Click the three vertical dots next to the "Login" button at the top right corner of the screen.
3. Select "Help Center" and initiate a chat with support.

Additional Tips

• Using Real-time Chat on Mobile: It is often more convenient to use the real-time chat feature on a mobile device rather than on a computer. The chat support is immediate, so you won't have to wait long for assistance.
• Card Deactivation: If your card has been compromised, ensure you deactivate it or report it as lost to prevent further unauthorized use.

By following these steps and utilizing Netflix’s support services, you can effectively manage and resolve issues related to account hacking and credit card theft.
