Fraud alert! Netflix users have been warned to look out for fraudulent emails that ask users to update their bank details.

The emails claim to be from the giant streaming service but are actually from scammers trying to trick users into handing personal bank details.

The email asks streaming service customers to update their account because they are having problems with the billing information. Then the link sends unsuspecting viewers to a website where anyone who submits information will have their details accessed by scammers, reports the Sun.
