Netflix has warned a viral Facebook event inviting young Brisbane residents to “show their crazy party side” for a documentary is fake.
The post yesterday by a page calling itself “Netflix Australia — Brisbane” attracted more than 6,000 comments and was shared nearly 500 times.
“Hey Fortitude Valley Brisbane!” it said.
“We’re on the hunt for people who might like to show us their crazy party side (or main documentary) on camera and also have anonymous chats with us to compile for a Netflix Original Series documentary next year.”
Netflix declined to provide a statement but said it was aware of the event and confirmed it was “not genuine”.
The “Netflix Australia — Brisbane” page has since renamed itself “Netflix Originals”, while the listing for the event at The Wickham pub has been removed.
