How Does the Netflix Account Suspended Scam Work?

Scammers send messages that mimic texts from Netflix. These messages falsely claim that your Netflix account has been suspended and encourage you to click a link (recovery.ffm.to) to recovery the account. This link is a phishing attempt link and should not be clicked or followed!

Attackers may use long redirect chains to hide malicious content. Most malicious redirects are conditional. It means that redirection only occurs when a certain condition is met. For example, you will be redirected only if you tap a link from the message.

Recovery.ffm.to is not the final redirect destination, you get redirected further. We detected the following URLs were used in the redirect chain:

• https://recovery.ffm.to/d7m39ez
• https://q-r.to/bdfLYV
• https://l.ead.me/bdfLYV
• https://formsonlinefill.us/YqXMgTgcEv

After three hops and a total of four URLs, your final destination is a phishing scam designed to look like a Netflix page to trick you into entering you login credentials and credit card details.

VirusTotal flagged recovery.ffm.to as malicious:

In many cases, scammers will ask you to provide or verify personal information, Netflix login details, or two-factor authentication codes. This information can be used for identity fraud, to conduct unauthorized financial transactions and make fraudulent purchases, to sell to criminals on the dark web, or other malicious purposes.

While less likely, scammers may ask you to call a given number. Scammers may try to trick you into purchasing fake support services or installing a remote control tool, which they pretend to be a program to diagnose a computer. It is important to understand that having access to a computer, scammers can steal private information and personal files, install malware (spyware, ransomware or Trojan horses).
