Any account that does payment (like your netflix one), will be used to test out stolen credit cards. This will in turn flag your account for fraud. You might not want that. Unless you do, I don't know

    What? Like they'd try and use a stolen credit card to pay for my service?

    They won’t be paying, just tokenizing the cards to see if the data is good.

    Sounds like it wouldn't be a problem at all, for me, and really a problem for the police or netflix or the credit card company.

    It will be a problem for you when the police decide it's a civil issue (which they most likely will). Whether the credit card company will help you with this really depends on their policies, and I'm not sure what Netflix is supposed to do about it.

    If they said it was a civil issue, that'd mean no charges against me, which would be even better because then I could just make a different netflix account and have no legal issues.

    Idk man. I just don't think it's a big deal for me.

    What? Yeah of course there are no charges against you, you are the victim in this situation.

    I misunderstood what this thread was about, I thought it was about someone stealing your credit card information from your Netflix account.
