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.

  • I keep getting mail from Apple about validating my account and now I need to sanitize my email. Is this a hoax as they want my credit card details

    I have been receiving email supposedly from apple asking me to validate my account. I ignored as I thought they were a hoax as they wanted me to verify my CC details. Now I'm getting mail saying I'm transmitting virsus mitting viruses and I need to verify my credit card details.??  Is this real or hoax as it also saying if I don't it will lead to permanent deactivation immediately. HELP

    It is absolutely a fake. Do not, I repeat do not, respond to these emails in any way. You can report them to Apple if you wish:
    [email protected]
    but there's little or nothing they can do about such scams so it's probably not worth the effort and you can just delete the fakes.

  • I receive email on my Ipod, but receive no notifications from Apple relating to changing account information

    The only notifications I receive from Apple that have worked are related to password changes. I have tried resetting my email and sending a new email out to change account information, but that has not worked. The email from Apple does not appear within hours so I suggest the process hadn't gone through.

    What do yo mean by resetting your email?
    Email for what?
    Who is the email provider?

  • HT5622 I was always asked to verify my email. I requested from apple to resend a verification link to my email but I haven 't received any. Is there any other way I can do so I can download now some applications in my iphone?

    I cannot download any applications because i was always asked to verify my apple id. I requested for a verification link to be resent in my email address but i did not receive any.

    Contact Apple Support and ask for the account security team; they will have to do that for you

  • FACTORY UNLOCK REQUEST FROM APPLE

    CAN APPLE HELP TO UNLOCK IPHONE 4 ? I AM OUTSIDE STATES BUY A PHONE FROM MY FRIEND.

    NO THEY CAN'T, EVEN IF YOU SHOUT LIKE YOU ARE CURRENTLY DOING.
    All unlocking requests must be initiated with the carrier.  Not all carriers will unlock phones.

  • Cannot get phone unlocked after successful unlock request from Apple

    I continually get "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported" after successfully restoring an unlocked iphone4 (even after a restore from recovery mode) Is there any advice out there please?

    You use the O2 card to do the unlock.
    You only change the SIM card after you get to the Congads..........message.
    This is the Process in full.
    The process is contact your network supplier .
    Ask IF they offer unlocking.
    IF yes request the unlock and pay any fees requested.
    Your network supplier then contacts Apple to request the White listing (Unlocking) of your phone on the iTunes servers.
    Apple do this -It takes anything from 3 days to several weeks to complete.
    On completion Apple confirms this back to your Network supplier (NOT YOU)
    Your network supplier contacts you via email or SMS inviting you to connect your iPhone with your computer via the supplied USB cable and launch iTunes and follow on screen prompts through to the "Congratulations your iPhone is now unlocked" screen.
    All these steps need to be carried out with the ORIGINAL SIM and by REGISTERED account holder used when setting up the phone.
    Once the Congats...... screen has been reached you can swap out the REGISTERED SIM and replace with a compatable SIM on another network.
    CAVEATS
    Only the original SIM and Account holder can initiate an unlock- If you bought the phone used/second hand you CAN NOT UNLOCK through official routes
    Once unlocked use of a Mobile Virtual Network SIM may result in difficulties sending SMS messages.
    You may have to go into Setting /Network/Cellular/Cellular Data Network and enter the correct settings manually.
    Further caveat Cellular Data Network menu is SIM card dependant if its not supported you CAN NOT change the settings manually then you may need to contact the SIM card company - They can send a setup SMS if they support this process.
    Sorry for the lecture.
    PRESEE -
    ONLY REGISTERED ACCOUNT HOLDER AND SIM CARD CAN BE USED TO UNLOCK THROUGH OFFICAL ROUTES
    ANYONE SELLING THEIR IPHONE SHOULD UNLOCK THE DEVICE BEFORE SELLING ON

  • TS2446 I have this email with this adress request account update.Is this a valid request from Apple?AppleID@customers.appstore.70.ca

    Hello I have this email requesting to update account information.Was wondering if it is a valid request or fraudulent?

    Apple will never, except for some customer surveys which will never ask for personal information, never uses a domain other than their own apple.com domain, and never asks you for account information in an email. As stedman said, it's a phish. Delete it and do not respond to it in any way.
    Regards.

  • Apple said they sent an email for me to verify my account but never did. The 48 hrs has passed and still no email support. Any ideas?

    I Bought an iTunes gift card, was able to redeem it online, but the next step for being able to purchase on the store website was for me to receive an email from Apple to "verify" my account.  The email never arrived, and the 48 hrs has passed since I submitted my case to Apple. Very disappointed so far.

    Who discarded the Apple ID? Apple? or You?
    Did you answer the Security Questions? Is the backup email accurate? Have you tried contacting them?

  • APPLE TV YOUTUBE IS NOT WORKING MANY POST BUT NO SUPPORT FROM APPLE STAFF

    In this forum and in many forums I have read posts regarding YouTube is not working.
    In my situation I have updated to the latest version of apple tv (2.3). My Leopard is up to date / itunes also.
    I am sharing internet connection in imac using Airport. Eveything works but YouTube does not work.
    I can log in with my YouTube username (this shows it can successfully connects and gets reponse from the server), BUT I can not view featured/most viewed etc. I only see spinning apple thing.
    I have been useing apple tv for 3 days and firts date YouTube worked. Also yesterday I did restart atv with menu + - for 6 seconds and relogged in to itunes and youtube worked again. I watched the whole night. I did also made some testing like rebooting atv again / turning of internet sharing and so on, magically it was working. I did get a good night sleep and in the morning when I tried again boom YouTube was broken again.
    My only request from apple tv tech guys to admit there is a problem with YouTube in Apple TV so we can stop trying to make it work.

    Well I kind of never give up and still trying.
    Today I figured out something, I was looged in to You Tube Account from apple tv. I clicked on History (on Youtube/History) and I could view the movies. When I click on one it start stream and downloads it. So there is no connection issue due to my hardware router etc. The only places I get the spinning wheel is when I try to use Youtube/Feature/Most Viewed/Top Rated/Search
    There is definitively connection to the server but why I can't navigate the above links mentioned.
    I would really appreciate any suggestions it does not matter if you know a fix or not but each feedback would help me solve this issue.
