Hulu subscribers are receiving out-of-the-blue emails offering to refund their subscription costs, due to unauthorized account activity. Anyone that receives a similar message should disregard and delete it immediately, without clicking links and/or providing sensitive information. The Hulu subscriber refund email is a phishing scam and in no way legitimate.
Is the Hulu subscriber refund email for real?
The Hulu subscriber refund email is not legit. In reality, the message is a phishing scam with no official connection to Hulu. Do not respond to or click any links within the subscription refund email. Anyone that has provided sensitive information in response should change their Hulu account password immediately.
Scammers don’t always require people to click links, however, and may point Hulu users towards a fraudulent helpline. The fake Hulu customer service contact number is (877) 526-1014. Again, this is not a legit Hulu contact — don’t call the number in search of a subscription refund.
There are a few red flags that can help users to identify this Hulu phishing email as fraudulent. Firstly, the message opens with a general (rather than personal) state of address. The email goes on to direct users to a website outside of the Hulu domain in order to collect the “refund” said to be up for grabs. Additionally, the scammers ask for sensitive personal information that no actual Hulu representative ever would.
Anyone that encounters actual Hulu subscription charge issues and is seeking a refund should visit the official helpdesk. Always contact Hulu directly, rather than responding to unsolicited forms of contact.
