    I subscribe to Netflix and think its just great, so easy. I was approached online by someone offering me a one off payment of e30 (pay into his paypal a/c) and he would give me a 'code' and I could choose either UK Netflix or USA Netflix......

    Now I know its dodgy :rolleyes: ... I'm not going there ... my question is: as a subscriber in Ireland - is there a choice in what we can get ? (I didn't know there was a difference ) and how is this other guy doing this ?

    What do you mean by choice? You can access other Netflix like us and Canada with a simple and free Google chrome extension

    Don't pay someone for something you can get for free.

    I'll do it for you for €20 !

    No, seriously, that's a scam. Unlocator or many other sites will tell you how to switch between regions without any cost whatsoever.

    The same guy told me to cancel my subscription and pay him e30 into his paypal and i'd never have to pay again ? I just got a private message from him - no idea who he is.

    So, aside from anything else, he was offering you a lifetime subscription to Netflix for €30? That does sound like a bargain! But it also sounds very much like a scam.

    The way netflix determines which library to give you, is based on you're location. There are methods to spoof your location, but the cost 30euro cheaper than what he's offering. There's no way to get it free or with a once off sub.

    Yes Mousewar ... pay him e30 and he would give me a code/codes and I could have netflix for free - I just re-read his message - he was actually offering a whole year for e30 ;) this was a private message through Facebook and I also see he is advertising on certain facebook pages also.
