Kamillions of people got a "suspension notification" from Netflix in their inbox, Friday (most spam catchers failed to flag it).

We'll save you the come-on and the hoops, but the presentation is, from our experience, impressive. Not to give kudos to scammers, but with Black Friday and the [holidays](https://www.smartseniordaily.com/holiday-scam-season-has-arrived-seniors-should-be-extra-alert/) coming up, it's a little unnerving.

The only stinker in the whole thing is that the sender doesn't have a real Netflix address, but that's easily overlooked because of the immediacy of the headline.

## A double-headed monster

The tricksters behind this are also trying to sucker people in with an "online reward program." No such animal exists at Netflix.

If you get one of these or see one of these, don't go a click further. Delete it, click off of it, and save yourself money, your computer getting a virus, or who knows what. And if you're not sure, call Netflix themselves

## You want to save money on Netflix, you say?

**Netflix doesn't have a "senior rate," but they do offer options** like "Standard with Ads" being the most affordable. It's actually a good deal because they don't run as many ads as, say, YouTube or a TV network.

There's also **household sharing:** Sharing an account with family members who live in the same household is a common way to reduce costs. Sometimes you can share an account with someone who *doesn't* live in your house, but if you get caught, you'll be forced to pay an individual rate.
