himal··on Watch out for this Netflix “tech support” scam
From the author's comment on the original article[1]

"This link could very well have been sent as spam or through a rogue ad. That’s not how I discovered it though. The phone number used in this scam matched one that I had tracked previously. It’s only after (by going to the root of that domain which was not protected) that I discovered that there was also a phishing scam in there."

Actually, there are two spaces in the given example output as well.
