Hello Christine,
Report it to Apple as phishing.   Then delete it.   I think it is a potential scam.

  • Hello, i have been sent the following email from apple: - You've taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you... and asks for apple login details, is this a genuine request?

    Hello, i have been sent the following email from apple, see below and asks for apple login details, is this a genuine request?
    Thank you.
    You’ve taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you.
    The rescue email address that you gave us is [email protected]
    Just click the link below to verify, sign in using your Apple ID and password, then follow the prompts.
    Verify Now >
    The rescue email address is dedicated to your security and allows Apple to get in touch if any account questions come up, such as the need to reset your password or change your security questions. As promised, Apple will never send any announcements or marketing messages to this address.
    When using Apple products and services, you’ll still sign in with your primary email address as your Apple ID.
    It’s about protecting your identity.
    Just so you know, Apple sends out an email whenever someone adds or changes a rescue email address associated with an existing Apple ID. If you received this email in error, don’t worry. It’s likely someone just mistyped their own email address when creating a new Apple ID.
    If you have questions or need help, visit the Apple ID Support site.
    Thanks again,
    Apple Support

    In that case, someone is trying to hi-jack your Apple ID.
    You should change your password immediately.

  • HT204053 i'm trying to set up iCloud on new 5s and it is telling me to check my email for instructions to verify my account, yet there isn't an email from Apple for me to check.

    I'm trying to set up iCloud on a 5s and it is telling me to check my email for instructions on how to verify my account, yet there isn't an email from Apple with this information?

    Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • I used my military (.mil) address as the backup for my appleID account, but now that I need to open the verification email from apple, the .mil doesnt allow me to open and verify that I am who I am?

    Hey Edgew7,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
    1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
    3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I recieved a scam email from apple. then sent me the same email using my own email account. how do I report this to apple. can't find any contact details.

    hi over the past month have received maybe 5 scam emails from apple.
    I opened one the other day cause I thought well maybe it is from apple.
    went through the steps and it was  amazed at how well they did at copying apple website. you could even go to the apple shop page from their page!
    what set me off that it was fake was that I tried to open the other apple pages along the top and it wouldn't let me. so I opened my own apple page and logged in. and realised that they don't ask for your bank details in your Apple ID account.
    anyways so now what has happened is I got an email today " from myself" with this same scam email. it is as if they have hacked my email account and sending me these emails. I want to report this to apple but am unable to find any contact details apart from call back options. does any one have any advice on this.

    I've had that same exact issue, I received the first e-mail claiming to be from Apple last night (though over the past week I've received two other scam e-mails from different addresses claiming that my bank transactions have been aborted). It said it was from my own address, and I checked it closely to make sure it wasn't a spoof account but found it was indeed my own e-mail address. Five minutes ago I changed my password, and I have just now received a second e-mail exactly the same, still coming from my own account. My best guess at an explanation is that it may have been sent before I changed my password and there was just a delay in the message sending, resulting in it coming through after changing my password.
    I've now forwarded the e-mail on as an attachment to the [email protected] address, however this still doesn't help me with regards to stopping these e-mails. It concerns me that even though I changed my password they still possibly have access to my account. I tried checking my account activity but as opening the mail app on my iPhone is considered as a log in and I check it almost twice an hour, it's impossible to tell which could possible be an intruder logging in.

  • I recieved an email from apple saying I was blocked is it a real email?, I recieved an email from apple saying I was blocked is it a real email?

    I got an email from Apple saying I have been blocked and I should click on a link to confirm that I am me. Is this a real thing from Apple? Has anyone else gotten this?

  • I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used      to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5s.  I have an iphone 4.  It's asking me to sign in to confirm my details and change my password.  How do I know if this email is genuine?

    I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5S.  I have an iphone 4.  It then asks that I 'click here' to confirm my details and change my password.  How do I tell if the email is genuine?

    Apple will not ask you to click a link in an email. They may tell you to log in to your account to reset your password. Go to https://appleid.apple.com and log in if you ever want to change any information in your profile (or your password). And do not click the link I just posted; instead enter it into a browser.
    You can verify the devices assigned to your account by going to https://icloud.com/find (again, don't click it), where you can see a list of devices registered to your Apple ID.
    As a general rule, you should never click a link in an email or forum post without verifying it first. You can see where it goes without clicking it in most email programs and browsers by hovering your mouse pointer over it. On an iPhone you can check where it goes by holding your finger on the link (rather than just tapping it).

    It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message to Apple.

  • Is today's request from Apple to verify my account genuine?

    Is today' s email from apple requesting account verification genuine?

    Hey all - Looks like this scam is still alive and out there as of today 31 Mar 15.  These guys made it look darn pretty legit - right down to the Apple copyright at the bottom.  The first pic (blue line) is how it appears in your inbox.    The second screen grab is what it looks like when you open the email.
    1)  How it appears in your Inbox:  Looks like it is coming from Apple and the subject is:  Verification System:  Please Update Your Details.
    2)  Here is what it looks like when you open the email.  It looks like it could be an Apple ad.  Please don't fall for it - NEVER click on a link in an email that asks you to log into ANY account to confirm or verify your information.  NO legitimate company will ask their users to do this.  Definitely a phishing attempt. DELETE this email.   If you want to make sure your Apple ID is is good to go, open your own browser session and go to the Apple website and login to verify your account. 

  • HT5312 My rescue email address is no longer used, I can't get any emails from apple about my security questions. What shall I do?

    My rescue email address is no longer used, I can't get any emails from apple about my security questions. What shall I do?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Can i know what should i do to retrieve my security question's answer?

    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

    Does anyone know if this is a scam?  Sound like a scam to me?  Thanks Lu

    It's not from Apple, it's a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details - forward it to Apple : [email protected] , and then delete it.
