HT4864 Keep getting email saying my account is limited and then asks for my information. Is this a scam?

I am getting repeated email messages on Apple letterhead stating that my iCloud account is limited at this time due to some problem. It then asks for my name, user name and password. I believe this is a scam and just delete the message. Anyone having similar issues?

Since this is sent by the very people who maintain a record of you name, username and password - this is a scam.  There have been numerous others reporting such phishing.

  • I have a 25GB icloud storage according to my account, but keep getting emails saying I will be reduced to the 5GB maximum?

    Hi, Thanks for your guidance- I have a 25GB icloud storage according to my account, but keep getting emails saying I will be reduced to the 5GB maximum by Sept. 30?

    It's true. You got 20 GB free for one year as a former MobileMe member. See this Kbase article:

  • Why do I keep getting emails saying my iTunes account will be disable in 48 hours if I do not validate my account?  or that I have to verify the email associated with my iTune acccount?

    why do I keep getting emails saying my iTunes account will be disable in 48 hours if I do not validate my account?  or that I have to verify the email associated with my iTune acccount?

    Because someone's trying to mislead you into giving them your iTunes Store login information. Forward all such emails to [email protected] and then delete them.
    If there's an actual problem with your iTunes Store account, you'll be told at the time you try to purchase or download something.

  • I keep getting emails saying my password has been changed , everytime i go reset it with stronger passwords, but it keeps happening, anyone got any ideas?

    Hi all, I keep getting emails saying my password has changed, I have now reset my password 4 times in the last 2 weeks with stronger and stronger passwords and have also changed my security questions, anyone got any ideas how to resolve this problem?

    No.   I am a volunteer, not always on good terms with Apple either.   I'm sorry I don't seem to have helped but what I told you is what I would tell anyone in your situation.
    I hope Thomas r won't mind me pasting one of his replies, but the thread is so long it could be daunting.   Thomas knows about these things.
    ******  Courtesy to Thomas r.
    As has already been pointed out earlier in this topic, the issue is either a repeated phishing attempt (in which someone sends you a faked e-mail, directing you to a faked site, which tries to get you to "log in" so that the hackers can get your ID and password) or someone is repeatedly trying to get access to your account. I'm guessing the latter is more likely... someone's repeatedly trying to reset your password, for who knows what reason, and they're trying repeatedly because they're never getting the password reset e-mail. (Why they would expect to receive that e-mail I don't know... people are stupid.)
    Make sure your Apple ID has a good, secure password. (There is no need to reset your own password to do this, just go toappleid.apple.com and change it.) I'd also advise turning on two-factor authentication to further protect your Apple ID:
    Apple introduces two-factor authentication
    This will prevent password reset attempts, as it will not be possible to even start the password reset process without having access to the device used to receive the code used as the second identification factor.
    Hope this helps.

  • I keep getting emails saying my Apple ID was used to purchase an pal when I didn't make the purchase

    I Keep getting emails saying my Apple ID was used to purchase an app in the amount of $xx.  I did not make the purchase.  I keep dumping these emails into trash as it seems like spam but it's getting annoying.  Email appears to be coming from Apple.  Any ideas?

    If you think it's spam move it to junk instead of trash. Read the article below and report one to Apple.

  • TS1717 Trying to download iTunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    Trying to download itunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
    The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
    I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
    You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
    In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
    WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
    This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
    No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

  • Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress)

    Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress). Never had this problems before and I have reseted it once or twice since changing emailadress on the Apple-ID.

    Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer.  You back up to iCloud over wifi.  All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup.  You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
    Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud.

    I want to get a new app for my ipad , but it first asked for apple ID and then asked for verify payment, what should i do?

    The iTunes Store needs the 3-digit security code from your credit card on the account.  The iPad will display the account information so you can enter this information.  Once you enter the information, purchase the app and it will download.  Sounds like the Apple ID and payment information is not yours (your parents), so discuss this with the account holder.

  • HT5527 I've paid for iCloud storage, but keep getting emails saying my storage will be unavailable if I don't upgrade.

    I have paid $40 a year for the additional storage, but I keep getting emails telling me that on September 30th my storage will go back to the 5G unless I upgrade.  Is there another step I need to take?

    When you purchased the additional storage it over-rode and cancelled the free storage you got as a result of having been a MobileMe subscriber. You are getting these automated emails because 'the right hand knoweth not what the left hand doeth' (Ecclesiastes 11:1) - just ignore them. They will stop in another week.
