Fake APPLE Account verification Phishing Scam Alert

Hi guys I haven't managed to find a link to inform APPLE directly of this scam, so here are the details..
I recieved this email to my registered Apple ID address....
The link below connects to http://www.mesinpertanian.com/apple.htm which is obviously a fake phishing page.
It goes without saying that this is a fake site that just wants your credit card and ID details.
Dear Customer,
It has come to our attention that your account Billing Information records are out of date. That requires you to update your Billing Information. Failure to update your records will result in account termination.
Click on the reference link below and enter your login information on the following page to confirm your Billing Information records...
Click on http://store.apple.com to confirm your Billing Information records.
Thanks,
Apple Customer Support
if anyone knows how to inform the chaps at APPLE so they can close it down. Please forward it.

Very interesting. The WHOIS for mesinpertanian.com is different from kingofcostumes.com, which is the domain that is being used in other scam emails that are being sent out using the very same stationery and message. The latter is in New York, while this one is in Indonesia. Here it is for anyone who is interested:

  • Phishing Scam Alert - 22/06/2014

    Phishing scam alert: We have become aware of an email billing scam being sent to some customers. Customers are being sent a bill saying their previous bill is overdue and they should pay the account immediately.

    I have been receiving emails from people I don't know who have private names.  One is Alphonso Waller, another is Winston Duke.  They claim that the attachment contains details of my account.  I have not opened the attachment because of the suspicious nature of the email.  Has anybody else received these?  Is it correct to delete the email straight away as I have been doing or should I delete from my Mac altogether? 

  • Apple guru support phishing scam?

    just got an email from Apple Guru Support saying my icloud account had been suspended and I needed to enter my username and password on a link... is this a scam?

    This scam seems to be active in Australia. It is hard to decipher if the email is bonafide. The link to personal details is alarming.
    Herewith part of the email - (I googled "KYC" = "Know your Customer" Wikipedia about fraud - Joke!).
    Read in the excerpt paragraph, the grammar is incorrectly written: "reviewed" incorrect tense. This is is threatening and malicious email.
    This is the last email to notify you as of 28 - March - 2015 that you have failed to reviewed your Apple Profile details. Under "KYC" regulation Apple is required by law to perform a validation of your Apple ID, failure review your profile will result in deletion of your iCloud within the next two working business days.
    In over twenty years I have never been emailed for my ID AND bank details by Apple.
    The other concern is that in an alternate email account, a message is to protect myself with a subscription to 'Mylife' - this is a threat.
    I will be verifying all this with a phone call to Apple support. Several times 'MyLIfe.com' is offering preventative Internet ID security, to further scare me into paying for a non-existent service. Watch out - the fraudsters are getting very tricky.

  • `created 2 Apple account, one with non existent E-mail address. How can i delete my fake Apple account?

    Hi,
    Did some non sense out of ignorance.Created 2 Apple ID account, one with non existent mail. It suddenly coming back to haunt me. Till now everything was ok, was dowlinding lots of apps, music... Now it suddenly swichted to the fake e-mail adress, i'm totally bloqued.
    How can i delete this second useless account?

    Hello,
    You don't need access to the email address to log in to the Apple ID and you can change the email if required.
    Assuming you don't need it for any services, as you can't actually delete an Apple ID, log in here (link) and remove all personal details from the page and then cease using that account. 
    regards
    mrtotes

  • Has anyone else received a phishing, "Urgent Alert From Apple Support"? It came to my actual iCloud email address.

    The message is very clearly bogus, full of errors of every kind, right from the start: "Dear Apple Custumer,"
    The fact that it came to my own iCloud address worries me since usually such schemes are to a broad group, like "[email protected]"
    I have forwarded the email, with Long Headers, to the fraud-combating websites. Can't find any hint on apple.com/support as to where at Apple itself to direct it.

    Re: Has anyone else received a phishing, "Urgent Alert From Apple Support"? It came to my actual iCloud email address.
    YES today in the UK, the email text is as below, together with several Links to "Apple" sites and an Apple logo and European support address.
    Fairly crude but could fool naive users.
    Any one know how to get to the addresses behind the links without clicking them?  Just copying and pasting as plain text doesn't seem to work. Any other way just copies the Hyperlink.
    Scam Text in square brackets:
    [This is the final notice to inform you as of 30 - January - 2015 that you have not yet updated your account information. Under "Know your Customer" legislation Apple Inc is required to perform a verification of your information, failure to do so will result in account termination in less than 48 hours.
    To stop the termination of your Apple and iCloud please validate your account information before the deadline.
    Please continue to Validate your Apple/iCloud ID »
    Sincerely,
    Apple Support]

  • 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.
    Apple Support"
    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.

  • Is there a "Safari Alert" phishing scam that asks you to call tech support at 844-877-7978

    Is there a "Safari Alert" phishing scam that asks you to call tech support at 844-877-7978

    Yes, it's a scam. Do not call any phone number.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, remove adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac, and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

    I did NOT click it and think that it is a phishing scam. Can someone tell me about this??  Thanks.

    Yes, it is a phishing scam. Apple IDs never expire. Just delete the email.

  • I'm fairly new to Apple - is this a phishing scam email?

    Just had this addressed to my email address, suspect that it's a phishing scam and to be ignored.
    Dear Customer,  We need to ask you to complete a short and brief step to securing and validating your account information.  
    Click here to complete validation 
    Failure to complete our validation process will result in a suspension of your Apple ID. We take every step needed to automatically validate our users, unfortunately in your case we were unable to.

    Should I just delete?

    Note that if you hover your cursor over the "click here to complete validation" link and look at the URL it's really going to, it directs you to:
    http://www.agaxonline.com/nueva/language/en-AU/online/transaksion/users/verfied/ canada.php
    Apple would never use some third-party web site, or anything other than their own apple.com domain, for any of their services related to your Apple ID.
    This is a quick way to see if a link in any email really is going where it claims it is, something you should always do, particularly when you've received an email you weren't expecting.
    Regards.

  • I am trying to set up iCloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line, even tho I have gone into my apple account and changed to my mobile phone

    I am trying to set up Icloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line (which I guess I entered back when I first got my MacBook).  I have gone into my apple account and changed the # to my mobile phone, but it continued to send it to the land line.  Probably is something simple, but I am not a techy!! 

    Hi,
    As regardss to the iChat and iChat Sharing categorisation you have used.
    In iChat 6 (lion) and Messages (Mountain Lion) the apps login to AIM and to Me.com
    The Login to Me.com allows AIM to verify the password to the iCloud issued names (@me.com and @iCloud.com)
    This "Dual" login also prevents the newer iCloud issued name from using this site
    (it has extra Privacy settings that iChat can't access for your AIM and Aim valid Accounts)
    Ignoring the @mac.com and MobileMe entries in the Add Account Screen in iChat and using the AIM one does not get around this issue.
    AIM and @mac.com names still work in older versions of iChat.
    The short answer is that iCloud issued Apple IDs do not work in iChat 5 or Earlier.

    Hi, my apple ID verification email does not contain the link for me to click in order to verify my account. Re-submitting has not worked, what can i do to verify/activate my account in order to access Icloud?

    If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information.  Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

  • Hi, my apple account is locked. I can't receive the verification email and I forgot the answers to the verification questions. I can't reset my account now. Please help me. Thank you very much.
