Fraudulent apple email?

What is the best way to deal with what might be a scam? I have my apple account connected with my school e-mail, but I just received an e-mail- supposedly from apple, to my gmail. The e-mail, included below, states that I have been charged from Thailand. When I click on the link it asks for apple info and my cvv. I put in the wrong cvv on purpose and it still let me pass to the next page in which it asked for my credit info, social security, and other vital info.  Almost positive this is ilegal, and I'm still unsure if i was charged from Thailand. What are the steps I need to take???

I just posted in the message above this one. I got this same thing, too complicated for me to figure out. But when I (stupidly) clicked on the link I got a webpage full of text or script and that didn't go anywhere. The link was to a config php file on a photographers site in Italy, used as a redirect... guessing the redirect didn't work. I just wish someone would track this sh** down and actually kill the people behind it -- but nobody tracks down and nobody gets caught. What a system we live in.
So I just spent the last couple of hours changing pw's on several accounts and websites, I'm so sick of this sh**!!
I have a website that got hijacked a couple times a few years ago, it was used as a redirect to a "bank". Not a **** thing ever came of it either.

  • Receiving apple email messages in polish language

    I am currently receiving random solicitations from Apple's polish language site, which I would like to unsubscribe from, sent to my icloud address.  I don't use this address and have NEVER given it out, so I believe the emails are coming from Apple.  Regardless, I want to stop them but cannot find an "unsubscribe" link, even after running most of the terms through a translation program.  Does anyone know if there is some other language setting I need to tweak for icloud?  Thanks.

    Hi fat pauly,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you may be receiving spam or "phishing" emails. Marketing email received from Apple will present a way to unsubscribe, as mentioned on this page:
    Apple Customer Global Internet Privacy Policy
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26289
    All e-mail offers that you receive from Apple will tell you how to decline further e-mail offers.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Is there an easy way to add a sketch to Apple Email?

    I struggled with a new-to-me sketch program that I found on an Internet website, but I was finally able to copy and paste it to an Email message. It was supposed to have been easier than that, but that was the best I could do.I then realized that I had to add a few lines and notes. That got me to thinking. By now, you'd think that there would be an easy way to add graphic material to Apple Email. Is there?
