Is this a genuine email from apple?

Hi,
I received an email from 'apple' saying this
Dear
Your Apple, xxxxx has been temporarily Blocked!.
Someone just tried to sign in into your Apple account from other IP Address. Please re-confirm your identity today or your account will be Blocked due to concerns we have for the safety and integrity of the Apple Community. .
To re-confirm your Apple ID, we recommend that you go to
Click here for Re-Activation
Regards,
Apple
the email address that it was sent from is [email protected]
It does look genuine in appearance, but its the email that it is sent from that concerns me???
Any help is appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'd say not.
1. Apple would just disable your account, they wouldn't send a warning first.
2. AFAIK pipi-apple is nothing to do with Apple.
3. The click here takes you to a fake my apple ID site in Australia.

  • Genuine emails from Apple??

    How do I know if an email appearing in my junk mail, apparently from Apple saying my Apple ID has been used to open a session on another computer, is genuine? It asks me to open an attachment and I am reluctant to do so. Apple want £25 to help me!!

    That is not genuine.  Apple would never ask you for money to assist in Apple ID signup.
    There are many spammers out there, spoofers, etc...  iCloud will verify logins from other computers occasionally, but it will never ask for money to do so.
    Note this has nothing to do with Classic, the operating system from 13 years ago.

  • Is this a legitimate email from Apple Support?

    I received the following email today from "Apple Support" and wonder if it's legitimate - they are asking for SS#, charge card information, etc.   It seems "phishy" to me....thought I'd check in on this before doing anything!

  • HT3702 I was send an email from apple asking me to update my credit card information or my account will be cancelled within 48hours is this a valid email from apple or fraud ??

    I was send an email via apple stating that I need to update my credit card information or my account will be cancelled in 48hours. Is this a valid email or fraud. I had the iphone for more than 2 years and did not receive a similar email

    It's a phishing attempt to get your account and payment details (Apple don't send emails like that) . If you still have the email then you could forward it to Apple : [email protected]

  • Is this a real email from apple?

    Hi
    I've just received an email from [email protected] that's asking me to verify my account or it will be disabled?!?
    The reason they give is because my shipping and billing address has been changed, which I checked hasn't. 
    I logged in via the official webpage rather than the link in the email and everything looks fine. Any recommendations?
    Thanks
    Dave 

    Sounds like scam.   Report to Apple, then delete.

  • I keep getting emails from Apple support about changing my password.

    I keep getting emails from apple saying someone is trying to reset my password when I have not done such a thing. A couple days ago after the 4th email I decided to reset it myself just incase. Now im still getting a email from apple stating that someone is trying to reset it.

    Apple do send out an email if you change your password that is genuine
    You could change the password to see if the emails are genuine or phishing by getting a genuine email from Apple
    No way otherwise if you cannot tell if they are genuine or otherwise

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • How do I know if the email from Apple asking for credit card information is genuine

    Hi, I just received an email from Apple Worldwide telling me they've suspended my account momentarily until they can certify my details which includes wanting credit card info etc.  how do I know it's genuine?

    Hello pegglekatie,
    This e-mail is not from Apple.
    The iTunes Store will never ask you to provide personal information or sensitive account information (such as passwords or credit card numbers) via email.

  • 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.

  • HT3376 I am not receiving emails in my Mail account.  However, I am receiving them on my web based yahoo account and on my ipad.  The other strange thing is that on my Mac, I have been receiving emails from Apple.  How can i fix this problem?

    I am not receiving email messages in my Mail account on my Mac OSX.  However, emails are being received on my ipad and my yahoo web site.  Also, all emails from Apple are going through in my Mail account.  How do I fix this problem?

    Well, the other person said theirs was working now. On yours let's try this...
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.
