E-mail or a scam?

I am getting an e-mail that says my account has been disabled and when I open the link they give me right away it asks for my Apple ID, my 3 digit number on the back of my card and my password.  Is this a normal e-mail or a scam?

You can forward the email to Apple at [email protected] then delete the email.

  • Mail-in Rebate Scam

    I bought an Intuit Card Reader at the Verizon Store when I bought my iPhone.  I had a $30 mail-in rebate.  to calim the rebate, you have to sign up for service with Intuit, to use the card swiper.  After some hassle, I signed up and mailed in for the rebate.  After a couple of weeks, I received a message sying that my rebate request had been received and there was a link to check the status.
    The staus of the rebate was that it was invalid because the UPC had not been included.  This is false!  I included he original UPC from the box the device came in and I kept a phoptocopy of it.
    I can't find a way to contact Verizon at least to vent about this scam.
    Anyhow, don't trust any Verizon mail-in rebate progarms.

    For a 2nd opinion, I have always received my mail in rebates from Verizon, probably anywhere from 5-10 of them without any problems.
    Luckily for you, you kept a photocopy of the UPC code. Did you also keep a copy of the rebate form? Is there not some type of contact where to get/send additional information?
    When you click on the link, is there not some type of contact where to get/send additional information?
    Is there more than 1 code on the box? I have purchased several products with multiple bar codes on the box, which sometimes makes it unclear which is the correct code.

  • Spoof e-mail

         I have been trying to confirm my bank account for a while. I tried again yesterday to get some help. Last night I got an e-mail from paypal saying that she was doing something to confirm my bank account and I would be notified within 72 hours. So, I was like .. great. Finally someone is helping me.      Then this morning, I got an e-mail from a bank claiming to associated with paypal. The link  in the e-mail redirected to a website that asks for very personal information. So, I closed it. Then I forwarded the e-mail to spoof @ paypal.com - they responded saying with the 'You're right!  This was a phishing attempt'' or whatever the exact words are.. So, I was nervous about that, and I was thinking.. How does the person who sent this phishing e-mail know that I'm trying to confirm my bank account with paypal? Or was it a coincidence? Then I let it go and forgot about it. Then I had a phone call, no voicemail was left and I had missed it. I googled the number and it was associated with paypal according to a bunch of people who aren't really reliable sources.  Then not long after the phone call, I got another e-mail from paypal (webform @ paypal.com)  saying that he had tried to call me to help me confirm my bank account, and I should call him back to set it up. I called, but in the meantime, I got suspicious because of the first e-mail/phishing attempt from that mornign - so while on hold on the phone, I forwarded that e-mail to [email protected] to see if it checked out as legit. Seeing how I was calling these people to confirm my bank and I would probably have to give sensitive information. I got the e-mail back from spoof, and it said AGAIN that the new e-mail was a phishing attempt - the e-mail that told me to call the people I was on hold with right then. I replied to that e-mail from spoof @ paypal.com and I said: Are you sure? I'm on the phone waiting on hold for someone now. I really
    need to get my bank account verified.. If this is a legit call then I
    really need to do it. And I already gave the last 4 digits of my social
    security number. This is the second e-mail that I've gotten saying it's
    a phishing attempt. How did they get my number if it's a scam? They
    called me first [later on, paypal replied to ^my reply and identified my reply as a phishing attempt, too... yeah.. seriously...] So, a customer service guy picked up the line, and I didn't know what to do at that point. I didn't know what to say to him, so I just tried to explain what had kind of happen and asked him to somehow verify that he is really from PayPal. It was going around in circles and I was trying to explain it to him.. like.. ''Yeah, the e-mail does look legit, but PayPal just told me that the e-mail that told me to call YOU is a scam attempt.. meaning you're the scammer.. Because the scam e-mail told me to call you.. and here we are.'' Basically..  he needed to confirm who I was before he could tell me anything and I needed to confirm who he was before I would tell him anything. He offered to forward me to the fraud department and I was like .. wait, but if you're a scammer then what good is the ''fraud department'' going to do for me? and he was like, if I'm a scammer then why would I connect you  to the fraud department.. and I was like anyone could claim to be the fraud department.. ya know?  Anyway..  I confirmed the piece of information that he wanted because that was going nowhere. and because the info wasn't something majorly sensitive.. so that he could then confirm to me who he was.. I guess.. So, after that, I asked him to confirm something from my paypal and he did. and he told me all the information on my PayPal account, and he knew everything. So I said okay, I believe you that you're PayPal. We went through the bank confirmation stuff - allthewhile I still feel weird about the whole thing, plus I feel like he thinks I'm a lunatic. But I still have this little voice going, ''But why did spoof @ paypal.com say that he's phishing..?'' and ''How could they possibly identify their own e-mail as a scam...?'' Then he said my bank account was confirmed, so I was like.. Ok, let me just look while you're on the phone with me and check to see that my bank account is confirmed on my PayPal account. Because if it wasn't, there would be a big problem. My bank account WAS confirmed - something I've been trying to do for like 6 months, so I was really happy. And that was that. But here I am.... still wondering.... what just happened...?????

    ...You can forward the email to BT, the email address to forward it too is [email protected]..
    Reporting spam to [email protected] ought to be a good idea, but I doubt it because that address responds with a long email that starts by saying BT will do nothing unless the spam comes from one of its customers - and that's unusual. Very entertaining, though, because that email is itself trapped by the Yahoo spam filter. It looks as though that address is for reporting fellow customers who misuse the BT email system, not for spammers.
    This BT help page (currently linked from the Forums home page) tells us to use address [email protected] That at least returns a very encouraging response, though this whole thing makes me wonder whether BT really does anything about these reports.
    The odd thing is that when you follow the advice to forward the spam email you are stripping off the information that is not displayed that BT technicians could use to track down the source. Sending it as an attachment preserves that information but I've no idea whether either of these reporting addresses is set up to do anything with email attachments. Greg

  • Credit card expiring - scam?

    Recently i got a mail apparently from Adobe saying that my credit card was about to expire. I don't even have a credit card. This looks very much like a scam for me. I am not that good at reading mail source code but i cannot find any strange things. Can anyone please tell me what is going on?
    Greetings.

    Confirmed! Talking to one of Adobes chat support persons It was confirmed that these mails are all scams! WARNING!!!
    Quoting this person:
    I would like to inform you that even if you get the email to update the billing information you can just follow the above steps rather than clicking on links provide in email.
    ...where the "above steps" were instructions how to login to creative.adobe.com and changing account info from there. This is ALWAYS the case. Never trust mails!
    Greetings!

    Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  This will only delete the account from the phone, not from iCloud.  The other person will not be effected by this.  Then set up the correct account on your phone.

  • Email Address used only for Skype is now receiving...

    My [email protected] email address which has only ever been used by me to register for Skype is now receiving a lot of junk mail. Has Skype been careless with my details or are they in the business of selling personal information or is there another reason?

    at&t has something on their website as well about reporting fraud (email)
    Check the e-mail fraud examples to see if you have received a known phishing scam. If your e-mail looks like one of the examples, delete it. AT&T may be aware of the current fraudulent activities and working with the appropriate agencies to resolve this issue.
    If your e-mail doesn't match any of the examples, please forward the e-mail to AT&T Security.
    Option 2: If the phish does not resemble a message from AT&T but is from a AT&T address, send an e-mail to [email protected]
    Option 3: For all other cases (non-AT&T messages from other e-mail accounts, bank scams, etc.) send an e-mail to [email protected]
    So looks like you want to check the examples to see if it's a known scam,   if it is not then forward it to the [email protected] to report it.
     Verizon also has a way for you to report a threat to them as well but looks like it may be more geared towards their own customers, like AT&T does for theirs.
    If you receive a suspicious email, you should not reply to it, nor should you open any attachments, click on links contained in the email or provide any information in response to it. You can report suspected fraud involving Verizon or Verizon Wireless to [email protected] or [email protected], respectively. Please include the word "phishing" in the subject line of your email and provide as much information as possible about the fraudulent activity or message.

  • Any recommondations on how to remove DNSchanger and trojan virus?

    My isp has sent an email indicating I have a 2 trojans and a dnschanger resulting in spam being sent out?

    Facts
    1. DNSchangrs work only on windows XP they do what they say changer the DNS servers address on YOUR PC - Hijack your Web browser and point you at shadow sites, there aim is to steal your credit card and bank details.
    They are often disguised in **** downloads *(that's the Trojan bit and they change the DNS numbers by running an secret .exe script)
    That .exe script will NOT work within OSx period.
    2. This year there Has been several versions of the SAME Trojan discovered in the wild directly targeting OSx.
    Provided you are running the latest 10.6 or 10.7 - Apple has provided a builtin security and removal tool that is updated daily in the background that hunts down and searches for these Trojans using identifiers, notifies You and removes them automatically !
    3. It might look legit but scammers are devious.
    4. If you want to use added anti virus (remembering that there are NO viruses but several Trojans) look at something simple and preferably FREE or at least from a reputable company that understands Mac such as Integro.
    Norton does bad things itself !
    Try.
    Clamdav
    http://www.clamxav.com/download.php
    Or
    Intego
    http://www.intego.com/internet-security-barrier/
    Also you might want to monitor ALL internet traffic to and from your machine.
    There is a little app that does this VERY WELL called
    Little snitch
    Visit this web site for details
    http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html
    These are specific Mac Products !
    As I said I think that e-mail is a scam its self.

  • Where do I forward an e-mail message that say it's from Apple, but appears to be a phishing scam?

    I received an email with a reply address of [email protected]
    Here is the body of the message:
    "As we strive to secure your account, please be informed to upgrade to our latest security platform *****
    Your privacy and protection is our concern.

    However, the embedded link does not go to a secure Apple site.  Attempts to forward the e-mail to Apple get a reply stating that messages are not monitored.  Anyone know where I should send the e-mail?  TIA
    <Edited by Host>

    Here's the Apple paper on the topic. It seems the scammers are hard at work. Your post is the second in a short while reporting a phishing scam.

  • I have been stung by a WhatsApp scam on my email account and changed my password.  All mail sent is held in the outbox with actually sending. gmail account in Google works  OK. How to restore Mac mail?

    I have a one year old MacBook Pro, using Yosemite OS. In my Mac mail account I use gmail. I have recently been stung by an e- mail scam using WhatsApp. When I changed my password I was able to move on with mail on my phone and laptop. I now find that all the mails I sent yesterday have got stuck in my Outbox and have not actually been sent. i have since opened up my gmail account via Google and have pasted i the messages and successfully sent from there.
    How can I now restore my Mac Mail on the laptop to send my mail?
    I would interested to hear views.

    Hello Nicholas,
    It sounds like you are suddenly unable to send email from the Mail app but can log into your webmail and send the emails without issue. I recommend you use the following article, to help figure out what the issue is, named:

    Just got an e mail to say that my Apple ID was just used to download photoshop touch for phone for 2.99 from the App Store with a receipt number. Is this a scam for me to give my Apple ID?

    No but there's a link to reset your password. Etc etc..
    This is the email I got.
    "Your Apple ID was just used to download Photoshop Touch for phone £2.99 from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
    If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
    If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
