is this a sting to try and get my credit card detail????? OR is it for real???
thank you!!!

It's a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details, iTunes accounts don't get 'suspended' or 'locked'. Emails from iTunes/Apple tend to be personalised (e.g. have your name after 'dear', not just 'dear customer') and they are written in proper English.
You could forward the email to Apple : [email protected]

  • I was on safari and it froze.  a screen came up that said "you need to call this number because your email account has been temporarily been suspended" i did not call the number but how to i get rid of it?

    How do I get rid of a virus on safari?

    It's not a virus. It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
    3. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
    After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

    Hi JkeeneSoldano,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To regain access to your Apple ID, try to reset your password using one of these methods:
    Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
    Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
    Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
    From:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If you need to use the email verification method but don't receive the reset email, see this link for more help:
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
    Best Regards,

  • Nokia account has been locked

    Hi ridoysajjad,
    Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia Support Discussions! 
    Once the account is locked, wait for 15 minutes then try re-login (this allows the lock timer to be reset).
    If still not able to login with existing password, you must go for the password reset option on  http://account.nokia.com main page and select Forgot your password?
    Try either mobile number option or email (which you used in Nokia account registation)
    For mobile number, an over-the-air (OTA) password reset link will be sent to the mobile.
    For email, a link will be sent for password reset.
    Please note that you have to wait up to 4 hours to get the reset link as there can be network congestion.
    Once you get the reset link, create a new password and then try to login with the password.
    The login should work with the new password.
    Note: You might still have to wait for 15 minutes before you can try to login even with the new password. Nokia doesn't have any tools to unlock the user's account due to privacy issues and a new account should be created if the customer is unable to reset the password by him/herself.

When i sign in to my account, I have message: "you can not login because your account has been  locked" Why i can't connect my account? I have just back to my home durning the vacation. And my friend used my computer.My apple ID:**************@gmail.com
    please help me as soon as you can thank you so much

    For info we are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your iOS device by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
    If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support and see if they can/will unlock it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
