I received email purporting to be from Apple customer support about my account. Is this spam?

I have received emails about my account. I am suspicious. Are they spam?

I am not an expert on spam but I got the same email yesterday and today. It appears to be spam to me and when I am suspicious I never click on any links in the email. Just go to the apple website in your browser and sign in as usual and check but never click on any links in emails to be safe. I seriously doubt that Apple would send out emails showing multiple addresses which is why I think it is spam. That is my 2 cents worth.

    It did not come from Apple. Do not click on the link and do not supply your password. It is a scam. You can report the phishing email to Apple here:

    Once you have done so, delete it.

    It amazes me that in so many cases like this there are significant grammatical and spelling errors, such that no business of note would have failed to correct.

  • SPAM email purporting to be from Apple

    Just received one, asking me to update my online access info or else!
    Does Apple want me to do anything with this other than delete it?

    I find the Bounce featured to be quite effective.
    What it's most effective for is sending spam to innocent people whose addresses have been forged as the 'From' address on the spam. Little spam actually uses a real return address - the idea is for you to click on links - so all you are doing is adding to the misery for people who have nothing to do with it. And the next time the same people spam you it's likely to be from a different 'From' address, so as to get round your filters.
    Added to which if it does happen to be a real address it doesn't take very much sophistication at all to tell that the bounce is a fake. Anyone up to sending large amounts of spam is going to be able to do this - but in any case I doubt if any spammer would bother to remove a bounced address from a list of thousands.
    Please don't bounce spam. I know it's a temptation, but please don't do it.

    I have received an email saying 'Your account has been frozen temporarily in order to protect it.' My anti virus says the email is from un ansafe site. I've checked my itunes account and it is frozen. What should I do next?

    Forward the email to [email protected] and then delete it. If you actually run into a problem on the iTunes Store, click here.

  • 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.

  • My mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

    my mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

    I am intermittently having the same problem. I can send email, but once the Mail application is opened, it will only pull emails in from the server one time and then I have to "Force Quit" and restart the application to receive incoming mail again.  I've tried restarting the computer. I've made sure I have all the system updates. I've checked for conflicts between applications and so far nothing fixes the problem. Once in a while, Mail starts functioning normally on its own, but in a few days it goes back to the same old problem. Has anyone figured out what if going on with this isse?
