I apologize if this is a stupid suggestion, but have you tried the Dutch police? Very probably they have a cybercrime division, and (perhaps less probably) your thief may be part of a wider ring, or a prolific offender who's currently under investigation.
Other than losing your place in your various series, have you suffered any other loss or harm as a result of your account breach?
- dutchbrit 12y agoDefinitely not a stupid suggestion - I haven't contacted the police yet, no. I was stuck between contacting this person directly to give him a good scare (maybe he'd reconsider what he's doing) or contacting the police, or passing on the info directly to Netflix.
- teh_klev 12y agoIf it was me I'd contact both the police and Netflix. Let them give this person a good scare. Doing that yourself might have unintended consequences such as acts of violence against you or your property.
- hoopism 12y agoI am not sure Netflix would give a crap... They'd want you to change your password to prevent it... but you're supplying them with a random name and address... pretty sure they aren't interested taking it on faith that that person is responsible and then attempting any intervention. I would also be fearful of living in any city where Netflix theft is handled with any serious police resources.
- efriese 12y agoYeah, I would contact both. Netflix may not even call the police if the damage is "minimal" in their terms. Getting the police involved forces the issue with Netflix. I'm not sure how effective it will be, but it doesn't hurt. Or you could mess with his/her head. Hire some guys to follow him around for a few days and make it very obvious. Man, I can think of so many possibilities...
