I got a phishing email this morning regarding my Netflix account. [View all]

You know the type - it tells you your account is on hold and you need to re-enter your financial information. Its the most common scam.

I do have a Netflix account, but everything is fine. I looked at the sender address and it was from someone in a school district not too far from me. I went to the website and actually saw a picture of the person whose account was used- a teacher in charge of technology.

First I replied to the teacher and told her I would be reporting her.

Then I forwarded the email to the principal of the school and explained what it was. If its the teacher, this is really serious. But if its a student who has hacked her account and is using it for phishing - I'd say that's pretty serious too (but at least they are underage).

Geez, kids these days.
