Cautionary tale. Netflix and other streaming devices.

Just thought I would relay something weird that happened. In the last two weeks, odd movies have been showing up in my Netflix recently watched area. Such as Gacy, Bundy, Katt Williams, and more. Keep in mind, I have two kids ages 4 and 2 so we really only get Sesame Street and some other kid shows. I contacted Netflix and they said that I had 3 devices more activated than I actually have. Turns out a tv I bought and returned to Best Buy was still activated and was being used by someone. I also had an android tablet and a ps3 but those were not in use according to Netflix.

So they deactivated all of my devices and now I have to relink them, but at least it's taken care of. So, take a minute and check out your devices on your accounts. Especially Vudu, if someone got on those they could ring up some charges.

Good point. Vudu has even mentioned they've seen this when their customers have returned devices. Unfortunately, Netflix no longer offers an option to deactivate individual devices. You have to deactivate all devices and then reactivate all of the devices that you want to use Netflix which is a major minus in my book.
