Email verification SPAM from Apple???

Hi everyone,
I just got this email that I suspect to be a spam from Apple..
I believe it is a spam but it is a very clever one..
can anyone confirm?

It's not Apple, it's a phishing attempt to try and get your iTunes account, and probably your payment details - you could forward the email to Apple : [email protected]

I am trying to create my Apple ID, but not receiving the verification link from Apple,. I get the email but NOT the link,. I have triple checked my email address and all Apple account info, all of which are correct. Any suggestions?

Where are you trying to create it?
Go to appleid.apple.com and create it there. Type the country name in the space and a dropdown should appear. Nigeria is clearly available there.

Anyone else having trouble stopping the spam from Apple?

Ever since I upgraded to Lion and signed into the Mac App Store for the first time, I've been getting junk mail from Apple every few weeks. Every message says, in tiny, gray type at the bottom, "If you prefer not to receive commercial email from Apple, or if you've changed your email address, please click here."
Every time I get one, I "click here", and give it the e-mail address that it sent the message to.
Every time the website assures me that I've been unsubscribed from all commercial e-mail (but might take 10 days to have an effect).
But despite these promises, I'm still getting spam from Apple.
Has anyone else had this problem, or is it just me that Apple is perpetually lying to?

MobileMe or iCloud accounts?
You can forward spam to [email protected]

Spam from Apple??

Where can I report spam that 'appears' to be coming from Apple but obviously isn't. They appear to have hijacked the Apple España email address and are using it to send me spam. I'm sure Apple would like to know about this, and so I would like to know where I can forward these emails so that they are 'dealt' with.. Or at the very least so that Apple are aware.
Thanks

Two-step verification code from apple

Hi, I've been trying to setup again the "two step verification security code" from Apple and they request that I add a telephone number for verification, to which they send a SMS with the 4 digit code when I try to access/change my contact details from apple/icloud to verify it's me and not somebody else. I've run into problems with my two meteor numbers. The text is never received from apple even though the network is listed as one that is able to receive texts from Apple. https://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT202656 I have no problem setting up the two step verification procedure if I add another mobile number I have from the Three network. The verification codes are received. But, I don't want to have to use that number as I hardly have it with me. Is this a known issue with meteor? It used to work when I was with emobile? I used to get the texts. But, then they stopped coming. It is also affecting my Apple Pay. I have UK cards which I have added to my phone, but Apple has to verify my nymber through text. They send the text, but I never receive it. (it is not an imessage, by the way. iMessage works perfectly). They have to be proper mobile messages (SMS) for the verification process, but I only run into issues with the meteor network. Is there a filter setup somewhere that stops Apple from delivering their messages to Meteor customers? It happens in my two numbers. Thank you so much for your help.Dani

I had this yesterday as well. I discovered that it was because I had changed the app restrictions on my iPad to 12+ from Allow All Apps. I don't know if this helps in your case, but it seems that access to the device app that controls the AppleID is required on verified devices.
The email is unhelpful - it would be better if it said a bit more about why devices may cease to be trusted.

How much more spam from Apple?

Why does this continue?
I have blocked this email address.
I have made a rule in preferences.
I have forwarded the messages as an attatchment to [email protected]
BUT STILL I GET SPAM FROM
[email protected]

Hi Jayspain,
This email address that you have provided: [email protected], is not an authentic Apple email address.
To make sure you have blocked the email address, I would like you to go to:
Mail
Preferences, from the menu in OS X Mail
Go to the Rules Tab
The Add Rule
Make the criterion read ‘From Contains’
Insert the email address of: [email protected]
From the actions, select ‘delete message’
Assign a description to the new rule like ‘spam’
Close the dialog with OK
Depending on the server and provider you are with the impact may vary, ig you use iCloud emial, this is 100% guaranteed to work. I am pretty sure that any other server/provider that has mail coming through OS X Mail, will block that address.
Many Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers? People with Outlook have all of their old and new emails. My old emails have vanished from Apple Mail.

How can I find my email in Apple Mail from before my company switched hosting providers? People with Outlook in my company have all of their old and new emails. My old emails have vanished from my Apple Mailbox on my macbook and other Apple devices. I do not have my mail backed up in time machine recently nor did I export my emailbox recently. Any ideas?

Try looking in your User folder.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

How do I restore email and drafts from Apple Mail in Time Machine after account was deleted.

My Apple Mail email account was deleted by a support person and I lost several hundred emails and close to 1100 drafts that I desperately need. I have been using an external drive for backing up in Time Machine.
I do not know how to get my emails and drafts out of Time Machine and onto my Apple drive.
Any help would be appreciated HUGELY!

Command-R to the rescue.
Just hold down Command-R during startup and Lion Recovery springs into action. It lets you choose from common utilities: You can run Disk Utility to check or repair your hard drive, erase your hard drive and reinstall a fresh copy of Lion, or restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup. You can even use Safari to get help from Apple Support online. And if Lion Recovery encounters problems, it will automatically connect to Apple over the Internet.
When boot into Recovery and select item 1, you will be given a choice of a point to recover from.

Is the email I received from Apple really from Apple?

I received the following email and wonder if it really is from Apple:
Your Apple ID was just used to download Defender of the Crown from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
Order Number: QEECVW211BD
Order total: 19.35 £
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 iTunes Payment Cancellation Form to change your password, then
See Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
Regards,
Apple
I did not click on the link in the email.
When I went to the iTunes store no 'Defender of the Crown' is not listed as download.
I have cancelled the Visa debit card connected to my account, but it's a nuisance because the next time I want to buy something I have to register my card again.
I'm confused!

It's a scam. The URL of the link is nothing to do with Apple, but is evidently a phishing attempt to trick you into giving your personal details. You were right not to follow it.
You could forward the email as an attachment to [email protected] so that they may be able to take action.

HT2534 Verification missing from apple id email

I have received email after making i d infact 3. To 4 times but no link for verification was send what do i do now

If you are trying to change the iCloud ID ("email") on your phone, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
