Hacked Netflix, now in Spanish even though I have never had Netflix

Like many others, seems my Virgin Media has been hacked by Netflix. Opening the app on the TV, I am faced with 5 profiles, all in Spanish and all locked with pins. Anyone managed to get this resolved? My circumstances are below. 

  • I have never had a Netflix account 
  • This started in April 2024 - I only realised in November and have been trying to get a resolution since
  • I have tried Netflix - but no joy as never had an account with them 
  • VM have advised they removed Netflix and the £10.99 charge on future bills
  • A week later, VM have said they have removed a Netflix addition of £17.99 after a chased no response from the billing team (seems hackers just got straight back in)
  • The Spanish accounts are still on my profile, and even if I wanted Netflix, can't log out 
  • I have not received the refund for 7 months of incorrect Netflix charges
  • VM seem hopeless in any support in resolving and lack concern over any personal/ financial data. 

Any advice on others managing to get this resolved and get a refund from the hacked charges would be helpful as about done with VM who don't seem to care or want to help.

Hello lola22.

Thanks for your first post and welcome to our Community.
Sorry to hear you are having an issue with Netflix being hacked and showing accounts in spanish.
I'd like to take a look into this for you.
If you don't mind, I'll need to send you a private message to pass security. 
If you can check the logo at the  top right of your screen that would be great. 
Regards

Report this to OFCOM - it's been going on too long.  I first reported this fraud a year ago!
