Fake apple email

Just got this in my regular email folder?! I did not order/purchase anything! Is my account hacked or is this just a phishing attempt?

Sherry,
It is fake.  Don't click on anything.  Delete it.
I doubt your account got hacked, since they don't seem to know anything about you except the email address.  However, if you have any doubts, change your password.

  • How do i report fake apple email

    I keep receiving fake billing requests from apple. I check my account online without using the email, and it is OK. How do I report this to Apple? I cannot find an apple email address to report it to. Thanks.

    The emails appear to be coming from [email protected] which appears legitimate. It includes the large .mac logo. The words: "After a few clicks, just verify the information you entered is correct." seem to me to give it away, as well as the fact that it is NOT my .mac email id -- it's an alias email.
    There are also 84 other .mac addresses in the address line. I just thought Apple might like to know that someone is trying to get account information, and I wanted to forward it to them.

  • Fake apple emails requesting verification

    I have received an email purporting to be from apple, informing me that my billing address had been changed, that my appleID was being frozen unless I confirmed my authenticity and they included the link below, which at first was an address ending in 'au' and suddenly changed to the one I'm pasting below:
    http://appie-login.appie-ld.co.uk.support.reply.location-24.lyliangame.com/scgi- bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/directToSignInlocalang=en_us/uk/
    I think this is fake.  Is it possible to check whether it is so or not because the email was a typical apple email but something did not sound right.
    Many thanks

    You can tell it's a fake because the link goes to "lyliangame.com". Apple would use no domain other than their own, even if they sent such an email, something which they never would. You can learn how to identify future phishing messages here:

    opw.apple.com/tcat/is a valid Apple webpage.

  • HT201303 Fake apple phising emails, and bogus apple site

    Does anyone have an email address to report a scam to get apple IDs
    I just got an bogus email, that looks real, that also leads to a fake Apple site, wanting you to check, and verify your info, including the pass word

    As Stedman1 says but also read the following notes from Apple.   They will alert you to the various other kinds of approach, too.  Never click on a link if you are not sure of the sender.

  • How to report a fake Apple Service provider to Apple

    i keep searching the site for a place or a link to report Fake Apple Repairs Center, but cannot find any information about this,
    Does someone know an email address were i can send my complain or report theses findings.
    Thank you

    Down in the lower right corner is links for sending feedback. I'd just send them feedback and they can forward it to the appropriate department.
    You could also call your local better business bureau and turn them in. If it's a matter of false advertising then you may get a faster response alerting local authorities.

  • Can't read email using my primary apple email account

    Ok, I'm new to this forum but here is my problem
    Usually I can read Email using my primary Apple E-mail account BEFORE I updated my Ipad into IOS 8.
    After I updated my Ipad into IOS 8 (non-jailbreak and from IOS 5 jailbreak), My Ipad says that I need to sign up an Icloud email to use the Mail App.
    Then I can't use my Primary Apple Account as an E-mail anymore. When people send a mail to my primary apple account, I cant read it because I cant read emails using my Primary Apple Account anymore.
    When I signed in with my primary apple Email account and opened my Mail App, It used my Icloud email instead my primary apple email.
    I tried everything Include making an email aliases but my primary apple email uses @Yahoo.com and I can only use aliases of @Icloud.com
    Can someone please help me so I can read E-mails when people send an Email to my primary apple account? Because I need to see those subcription mails and change my password of my online game account(<- This one is URGENT).
    And sorry for my bad English because I'm Indonesian.

    Welcome to discussions,
    go to settings/mail, contacts.../your mail account/outgoing mail server settings/ and see if you put in the needed password to access your mail server.

    I set up my iCloud account on iPad with an exchange account and aol account.  I can see exchange and aol emails but not those from .me account or apple email.  I got it to show all 3 accounts on my iPhone with no problem.  Hat am I missing?

    I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway.
    My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion.
    My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.
    In order to sync, what I did was click on the "I don't have the device with me", I entered the key that was provided and the process finish ok. It says congratulations, etc, etc.
    But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.
    Any suggestions?

  • Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

    Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

    You will need to find a third party solution for online storage in order to share things like photos with others. Some popular solutions to this are dropbox and sugarsync.
    You cannot sync non-iCloud email accounts across your iOS devices and computers unless they are IMAP accounts like iCloud. If they are IMAP accounts, you will do it in the same way as you have always done.

  • How can I set up an Apple email address

    Hi,
    I have an Apple account, when I first purchased the Mac Mini in 2009, my grandson set it up for me.  Now that I am getting a lot more familiar with Apple thanks to all you ladies and gentlemen who have contributed to my learning, I now wish to have an Apple email address and do away with Google, can anyone please point me in the right direction please.  I do not have ICloud on the Mac Mini, having said that, I noticed that when I purchased software from Apple or songs from Itunes, items I deleted are stored on ICloud.
    As I am still running Snow Leopard, I will be upgrading to Maverick, should I wait till I do that and then set up a new Apple email address?
    Thank you
    Kind regards

    If only a Mac you need Lion or later to get an iCloud account

  • How do I change my apple email address to my new email addres

    Help how do I change my email address on my apple id

    First, I did not see "Manage Account" so I used the "Manage ID" feature. I changed my Apple Email address and changed it's password. I receive a message that verified these changes. I then exited "Manage ID". To Test the new ID and Passwod, I returned to "Manage ID". As soon as Manage ID hit the screen, I saw my new email address briefly, and it was then changed to my old email address.
    That is the crux of my problem: Apple uses my old ID as the default and in other areas like iCloud where I need to enter ID and PW, they give me the old ID as the defaul and they don't provide a way to change the id, only the pw.
    I suspect I'm doing something wrong, but I need to have the old email address (ID) permanently removed. It's security has been compromised.
    I appreciate any help you can provide.
    George

  • How do i change my apple email address to something different

    how do i change my apple email address to something different

    You can create a new account, but any content that you downloaded with your existing account will remain tied to that account - so only that account will be able to authorise its content on a new computer, potentially redownload it, and download updates to its apps.
