Been asked to re validate my account , even asking for bank details?

Why would I ned to post my bank details so that my account is re validated? Surely credit card details are more t Han enough.

It's a fake. Apple will never ask you to do that.

Assuming you haven't fallen for the fake, just delete the email.
BTW, this forum is for questions from people managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. Normally you will get the quickest and most applicable responses if you ask your questions in the general iTunes forums.

  • BT asking for bank details over the phone

    On Friday evening I received a call from someone saying they were from Bt.
    The caller said my bill hadnt been paid and if I didnt pay it now my service would be suspended, (I was moved from quarterly billing to monthly and my direct debit had been cancelled an was now whole bill payment monthly).
    When I asked where the caller was from he said the Philipines, alarm bells started ringing. I asked to speak to someone in the UK and was told I could not be transferred, I then asked for someone in the Uk to call me, again I was told it wasnt possible as they had no contact with the UK.
    A call from someone asking for bank details immediately makes me suspicious, (theres lots of scams out there).
    Why is it not possible to speak to someone in th UK?
    Bob

    If you would like to contact one of the UK based BT Care Team who moderate this forum, they should be able to help you.
    They can be contacted using this link BT Care Team
    They normally respond by phone or e-mail, within three working days, however you should get an immediate confirmation, with a tracking number.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • How to download OS X Mavericks for free? ... i tried apps but it asks for bank details.  I did internet search but it refers me back to Apple Apps. I hope you can help me.  TQ

    I want to update my Macbook 2010 and am advised OS X Mavericks is free, but when i go to Apple Apps it asks my banking details.
    I have never purchased an App (yet).  I did an internet search for answer and it also sais FREE but when i open the link it takes me back to Apple Apps.
    Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question.

    You must have an Apple ID and an iTunes/App Store account that will request credit card information. In order to download free apps: Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card. Please read it very carefully.

  • App store has started to ask for bank details on free apps

    Not sure why, but when I now try to install free app, I get a message for my 3 digit No from my bank details, never done this before. Can anyone shed any light to this.

    Even for free apps they put a temporary $1 hold on your card, which is probably why they need the info. Without it that hold can't go through.

  • HT201272 Why am I asked for bank details when downloading free apps?

    When trying to install and download free apps from the app store why am I asked to enter my bank details and confirm my purchase???

    For the App Store you need an Apple ID with a credit card tied to it.
    Apple will make an Authorisation Holds for a $1 to verify credit card information but will be not charge.

  • Cannot. Access iTunes balance . Keeps asking for bank details

    I Cannot access my iTunes balance on my iPad Air.

    Is this the first time that you've tried to use the account to download something from the stores ? If it is, then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store. You should be able to remove your card after entering it (if you are trying to gift content then you will need a credit card on your account, you can't use your balance for gifting).
    If you are being prompted to review the account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054

  • Been asked for passwords at start up constantly

    Been asked for passwords at start up constantly, i only changed my password once and now i can not even get into my keychains to see previous passwords.
    anyone have this problem, pelase let me know what to do about it.

    About passwords in Mac OS X
    Mac OS X is designed to give you the safest and most secure computing environment available. The best thing you can do to keep the information on your computer secure is to choose a good password for your user account.
    There are four main types of passwords in Mac OS X:
    • User account passwords allow users to log in to their home folders. This is often referred to as a "login password."
    • Administrator passwords are required to perform many tasks on the computer, including setting system preferences, installing software, and administering user accounts. An administrator password is an administrator user's login password.
    • The master password is a computer-wide password set up by an administrator as a safeguard in case the administrator forgets his or her login password. The master password is usually used in conjunction with FileVault, a way of encrypting a user's home folder so it can't be seen by anyone but that user. If a FileVault user forgets his or her login password, even an administrator can't log in to the user's account with an administrator password. Only the master password can override a FileVault user's password.
    • Your keychain stores your passwords for various applications and resources on the computer, and your keychain password "unlocks" the keychain so the passwords inside it can be used. Your keychain password is the same as your login password when your account is first set up.
    You'll also need passwords to access servers, secure websites, shared folders, password-protected documents, and more. You can use your keychain to store these passwords so you don't have to remember all of them.
    You can create additional keychains with passwords that are different from your login keychain and login password. If you forget the password to these keychains, neither you nor an administrator will be able to access them.
    If you are in a secure environment where smart cards are required, you will be asked to insert your card and enter a Personal Identification Number (PIN) instead of a password.
    You can use Password Assistant to help you choose a new password. Click the key button to the right of the Password field to see how secure your new password is.
    Hope this helps.

    You are being phished and spammed. Ignore these. If you reply to any of them the result is to give out the password to your iTunes account.

  • I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up the iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for that before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. Is there a way to reset the keychain password?

    I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for the keychain password before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. I'm normally asked for the password to my machine when upgrading software, signing on, etc. but this is different apparently. I tried the same password and it didn't work either. I read a couple of posts and they all want to take me through Applications/Utilities but that requires knowing your password in order to change it. I don't know it. Don't remember ever setting up a keychain password. Does anyone know how to change the keychain password if you don't know the keychain password???

    Most of the time your Keychain password is the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
    There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
    The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

    Hello anetsa
    It sounds like you have restrictions setup on your Apple TV. If you do not know your passcode to unlock it, then you will need to restore your Apple TV. Check out the articles below for more information about Restrictions as well as restoring your Apple TV.
