The Regulatory Authority is warning people about an online scam, with an article claiming that Netflix \u2018lost thousands of Bermudian users this week because of the new competing service,\u2019 and urging people to sign up for MovieFlix, with the RA explaining that the scam is actually \u201cdesigned to steal credit card details.\u201d<\/p>\n

The RA said, \u201cThe Regulatory Authority of Bermuda is today [Aug 8] warning consumers to be aware of the latest internet scam to arrive in Bermuda. MovieFlix, an online movie service is featured in a Facebook ad, and will reportedly deliver identical streaming service to that of Netflix, free of charge.<\/p>\n

The RA added, \u201cThe Facebook ad leads readers to an article claiming that Netflix has \u2018lost thousands of Bermudian users this week because of the new competing service.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the MovieFlix website appears to be legitimate, every tab on their website clicks through to the same online form asking consumers to sign up for their trial membership and has already appeared on\u00a0posts in Australia<\/a>\u00a0and New Zealand with identical messaging. Other countries targeted in the scam include Canada and Ireland.<\/p>\n

Denton Williams, Chief Executive of the Regulatory Authority commented: \u201cOur role as an independent regulatory body is primarily to protect consumers and industry stakeholders. MovieFlix is an example of a phishing scam, designed to steal credit card details.<\/p>\n

\u201cOften these scams are linked to international organized crime and we strongly recommend that if consumers have already subscribed for the service, that they monitor their bank accounts or cancel their cards before their information is taken.\u201d<\/p>\n

Versions of this scam have been posted repeatedly, and have been\u00a0debunked by Snopes.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
