Her.ie report that a Netflix spokesperson has confirmed the email as a phishing scam, and has urged customers who receive emails such as these to be cautious.

The spokesperson says you can read up on Netflix security by visiting their ‘How can I keep my Netflix account secure?’ page, and to forward any suspicious emails on to phishing@netflix.com.
