I recently received an e-mail asking me to veri

I recently received an e-mail appearing to be from Apple On line Support.  the e-mail asked me to verify my account details and security questions or my account would be suspended in 3 days.  is this a genuine request?

Indeed they did. To be fair, the OP was only responding to an overly curious member. Maybe TWO lessons learned? LadyLazenby, a sheila, visiting the Deep South, had some mis-adventures help with smashed screen

  • Has anyone received an e-mail asking to validate account information?

    Has anyone received an e-mail asking to validate account information?

    If you got one ignore it and delete it. It is almost certainly phishing.

  • HT5312 Received an e-mail asking me to reset my account.

    I accessed iTunes today but did not change any of my information.  I got an e-mail from Apple saying my name had been changed and I had to click on a link to reset my account.  I didn't do it and seem to be able to sign in fine online.  I also received a text from Apple saying I had won a competition I hadn't entered so I am a bit wary of this e-mail and wondering is it legit?

    The text message is not from Apple and definitely a scam. Apple has no such contest and never has had. The email is almost also certainly a phish; do not respond to it, nor to any unsolicited messages asking for any sort of account information. I would expect that if you were to examine the raw source of the message, you'd find that the URL actually goes to some other site, not Apple's.
    If you ever have need to reset any of your account information, manually type in the URL to the Apple ID management page:
    https://appleid.apple.com/
    Then you can be confident that you're actually contacting Apple's systems.
    Regards.

  • I recently received a pop up from 'euro-pol' asking me to pay money to unlock my safari.

    I recently received a pop up from 'euro-pol' asking me to pay money to unlock my safari. I searched google on another computer and found it is quite a common malware issue. I found instructions of unlocking safari by resetting safari completely. Safari now works fine but I am frightened as I had student finance a banking details on my history etc. should I reformat and restore from backup? I am running mountain lion. I do have a windows partition, would this affect this? Should I not worry or what should I do? Please help...

    This is not any kind of malware, it is purely a fraudulent javascript-based "scare tactic" which fools people into giving away their money. It stores nothing on your computer, nor does it have any access to your files or personal information.
    As you've found, quitting Safari and restarting it with no windows open (hold down Shift as you launch it) will avoid reloading it.
    So you have nothing to worry about in this regard.

  • When asked to verify my account it says I will receive an e-mail but I am not receiving one.

    When asked to verify my account, it says I will receive an e-mail, but I have not received one.  Help!!!!

    ok... i figured out "A" solution.
    Go to https://appleid.apple.com/, choose "Manage your account", enter your old apple id email and password, then edit the verification email to a functional email address. This will send the email verification to your newly chosen apple id. PLEASE NOTE, this email address can NOT be a MobileMe (@me.com or @mac.com) email address OR an address already verified on an existing apple id (some folks added and secondary email address to their MobileMe apple id).
    Here's where it gets even more confusing. You've now changed your apple id email. Problem is you need to reset the password you never created (lol). Go back to https://appleid.apple.com/, choose "Reset your password", then enter your newly changed apple id email address and follow the instructions.
    Now, log into that email account and open the email to reset your password. Follow those instructions.
    Now that you've changed your apple id email address, reset that password you are ready to finally verify your apple id. Open your email account and follow the instruction (link) to verify account. It will ask you for you (new) apple id email and (new) password.
    Finally, now that everything is verified, you will now need to go into your iTunes, iPhone, iTouch and anything else associated with the old apple id email and update your log in info. You are now free to resume the services that worked just fine before the self-destruct button was pressed.
    I love Apple as a whole but, wow... I feel like I'm at the beginning of MobileMe again.
    Good luck and I hope this helps everyone!
    ON A POSITIVE NOTE:
    I appeared to loose nothing at this time through this process (i.e. music, apps, credits, etc.) except perhaps my cool. :-)

  • What is the best antivirus software for a Macbook Pro...I recently received a message from Google that someone made an attempt to hack into my mail account so I needed to change my PW and verify myself as the user.  The message suggested that I run a scan

    What is the best antivirus software for a Macbook Pro...I recently received a message from Google that someone made an attempt to hack into my mail account and I needed to change my PW and verify myself as the user.  The message suggested that I run a virus scan to check for sny malware or other types of viruses.  I do not have any software for this and up until now have not had a problem....any help is appreciated.  I would like a simple but effective solution!

    It's worth noting that if your Gmail has been hacked, it would likely have nothing to do with your MacBook.  Hacking web based email is fairly common and it doesn't require any access to your machine whatsoever.  In the same way that you can simply go to the Gmail webpage through any browser, any hacker can use the same method.  It doesn't mean your machine has been compromised in any way (and it has likely not been).  I have never received an email from Google of this nature.  I have received notifications when someone has attempted to create an account with my name in which they basically say that there is no action required if you're the rightful owner.

  • Cant receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when I respond same message- password

    Suddenly can't receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when i
    put it in,same message flashes up, reset does not work, also waiting for apple time lapse, still does not want to give me my yahoo mail on this format, tried talking to apple online contact, cut off, I'm receiving through safari, nothing through my email app

    Give it time. Yahoo has been doing things to their servers that often muck up the Mail app. Usually it takes 24-48 hours to run its course then it'll work again.
    if it doesn't clear up by the end of the weekend, you can remove and readd your account, but chances are it'll just start to work.

  • Why does "Sender Name" randomly change from the actual sender to another sender from recently received mail?

    When the email is first received the "Sender Name" is correct. When opening Thunderbird later the "Sender Name" has been changed in a random fashion to another sender of recently received email.

    Maybe the indexing needs fixing.
    right click on foldre and select 'Properties'
    Then click on 'Repair folder' button
    click on OK
    refresh folder pane / clickon another folder and then go back.

  • I've recently received 3 emails over the last 2 weeks from admin@appleid-apple.co.uk asking me to confirm my apple id- I presume this is fake

    I have recently received 3 emails over the last 2 weeks from [email protected] I presume these are fake. Can anyone confirm

    https://appleid.apple.com
    Go to the above website, sign in to your AppleID using the "Manage your Apple ID" link, and make sure everything is correct.  If it is, then clearly, at the least, the emails are in error.

  • I received an e-mail from apple store asking for billing information update. Is this legitimate

    I received an e-mail from apple store telling mr that my account billing information is out of date. Is this legitimate

    If it has a link than most likely no. For example
    It has come to our attention that your billing information is out of date. To fix this, refer to the link below
    That is most likely a scam and you should not click on it. It would help if you provided a copy of the email, just to be sure.

    Look at the right hand column.. more like this.
    It is a bug in Mountain Lion.

    But the fast solution.. unplug the TC.. count to 10.. plug it back in.
