One of the best scam emails from "apple" I have ever seen
I received a very convincing email from [email protected] asking me to up date my details. It was very soft and apple like so I started to input my details, then it asked for credit card updates, mothers maiden name and CVV number of my card. Turns out you don't even need to log in, it takes you directly to this page even if you just click sign in! I'm worried that others may comply so here is the link!
DO NOT ENTER ANY DETAILS ITO THIS AS THEY WILL TAKE YOU ENTIRE IDENTITY AND ROB YOU!

Let me know if this was helpful! Remember pleased don't upload your details. I changed my Apple ID and password just in case.

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. -
Is anyone aware of a scam email from Apple security?
Just checking to see if anyone else has received what appears to be a scam email (see below) from Apple security
Dear Costumers
This is an automatic message sent by our security system to let you know that you have 48 hours to confirm your account information.
Your itunes account has been frozen because we are unable to validate your account information.
Once you have updated your account records, we will try again to validate your information and your account suspension will be lifted.
This will help protect your account in the future. This process does not take more than 3 minutes.
To proceed to confirm your account details please click on the link below and follow the instructions.

For more information, see our frequently asked questions.
Thanks,
Apple Customer SupportApple also won't make spelling mistakes such as "costumers", nor will they ever tell you that your account has been or will be frozen and that you need to validate it.
There are many such fakes, some even worse and some quite legitimate-looking, but all are scams. See Apple's tips on how to identify such frauds:

HT5622 Initial AppleID Setup: I never received the initial verification email from Apple.
I logged in and resent the verification email but again (few times and 48hrs later) still nothing. Any ideas?
The information provided in your link didn't help me at all.
Here is what I found out:
I can log in to the appleid.apple.com,
I can click send verification link/button, (nothing happens if I do this)
I can change the email address by clicking edit,
If I change the email address to same email or to a short version of the same email, e.g. My email provider provides me with 2 email addresses for the same account one short ([email protected]) and one full ([email protected])
In both cases I receive an email notifying me of the change to my account but in both instances when I click send verification email link I never receive it...
I'm kinda lost at how their verification works... -
Hi
what is the best practices recommended from microsoft
i have a intranet portal in my organization used by employees and i want to give access for employees to access external from internet also
can i use same url for employees access intranet portal from internally and externally or diffrent url?
like ( https://extranet.xyz.com.in) and (http://intranet.xyz.com.in)
internal url access by employees is( http://intranet.xyz.com.in)
and this portal configured with claims based authentication
here i have a F5 for load blance and
a request from external to F5 is https request and F5 to sharepoint server http request
and sharepoint server to F5 is http request but F5 to external users it is https response so
when i change below settings in alternate access mapings all links changed to https
but only authentication link is still showing http and authentication page not opened.
adilHi,
One of my clients has an environment similar to yours with an internal pair of F5s and a pair used for the access from the internet.
I am only going to focus on the method using an F5 Load Balancer and SSL Offloading. the setup of the F5 will not be covered in detail but a reference to the documentation to support SharePoint and SSL Offloading will be provided
Since you arte going to be using SSL Offloading you do not need to extend your WebApps to use separate IIS WebSites with Unique IP Addresses
Configure the F5 with SSL Offloading
Configure a Internal AAM for SSL (HTTPS) for each WebApp that maps to the Public HTTP FQDN AAM Setting for each WebApp
Our environment has an additional component we require RSA Authentication for all internet facing Sites. So we have the extra step of extending the WebApp to a separate IIS WebSite and configuring RSA for each extended WebSite.Reference:
Reference SharePoint F5 Configuration:

ATTENTION!! RECEIVED FRAUDULENT EMAIL PRETENDING TO BE APPLE!! I received an email informing of a purchase made on my account and telling me to change my password if did not purchase the item, which I had not. I have received valid emails from Apple in the past asking letting me know a purchase had been made and asking if I had made the purchase, but the item listed has alway been a purchase that I had made. Since I had received similar emails in the past, I didn't think anything of it. Because I had not purchased the item listed, I immediately clicked on the link in order to change my password, which has been suggested in authentic emails i had received from Apple in the past. The site I was redirected to was exactly the same as the Apple site where you go to change your password. I entered my userID and password and it stated a verification email would be sent, if it was not sent click "resend email." When I did not receive an email, after about 10 seconds I went to the Apple site and followed the SAME EXACT step on pages that were IDENTICAL to the FRAUDULENT website I apparently had just been at. When I clicked "Send verification email," I DID receive an email within seconds, which had a special link that brought me to a page where I could change my password, which I did. I later compared a legitimate email to the FRAUDULENT email and I DID FIND A DIFFERENCE, BUT IT WAS ALMOST UNNOTICEABLE unless you were really, really looking. I doubt it would be noticed by anyone if not comparing it closely to a real email. THE DIFFERENCE WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AUTHENTIC EMAIL, THERE WERE THREE LINKS THAT COULD BE SELECTED - My Apple ID/Support/Privacy Policy. ON THE FRAUDULENT EMAIL THESE LINKS WERE NOT PRESENT!!! Just today I received an email from Apple stating my password had been changed today. I did not change my password today. When I changed after getting the fake email, I did not think about my SECURITY QUESTIONS!!! If you forget your Apple password, you are able to answer the security questions in place of your ID and you get a confirmation email. Even though I changed my password within a one minute when I did not get a confirmation email with a link to change my password right away and I went dierctly to Apple's site, apparently it was enough time to take all the information on my account - INCLUDING MY DEBIT CARD NUMBER, WHICH HAD BEEN REQUIRED WHEN I INITIALLY SET UP THE ACCOUNT!!! Today I received a call from VISA FRAUD PROTECTION asking about strange activity on my account and stating they were concerned and wanted to ensure I had used the account. I HAD NOT, AND ALL THE MONEY IN MY BANK ACCOUNT HAD BEEN STOLEN!!!!! I am writing this in hopes that many people will see it and NOT FALL VICTIM TO THIS SCAM. Please pay close attention to any emails you supposedly receive from Apple - If the links "MY APPLE ID/SUPPORT/PRIVACY POLICY," PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME IT IS AN AUTHENTIC EMAIL FROM APPLE. I suggest you immediately forward the email to apple, which I didn't do because this happened days ago. Nothing was taken from my money that was already on the Apple account, and nothing had been taken from my checking account. I guess I assumed there had been something wrong with the link in the email directing me to where I could change my password, plus I had gone to the valid Apple website and changed my password for real, and I guess I was thinking that changing my password would prevent someone from being able to acces my account info. PLEASE DO NOT FALL VICTIM TO THIS SCAM AS I DID!!!!
No need for alarm. There are several folks a day posting like threads. Most folks know these phishing attempts for what they are and merely delete with prejudice.
To the bottom line... if you wish - and I am sure Apple will take notice - you should FORWARD the email to [email protected] and delete.

Got the email from Apple Aperture compatible with future versions of iOS? (Mac OS?)
Got the email from Apple about Aperture this morning. They had a huge omission: are they going to keep Aperture compatible with future iOS? If not, I want, at a minimum, a refund for what I paid for the app.
They had a huge omission: are they going to keep Aperture compatible with future iOS?
There will be no further development of Aperture. That much should be clear from the announcement, that Aperture will no longer be sold at the AppStore. You are lucky - you used the last chance to buy the best photos app ever Apple created. The new Photos is not intended to be used by professional photographers like Aperture was. And you will be able to use and enjoy it as long as you keep a compatible operating system on your Mac. -
I forget the secret answer of questions asked by account.
I have also updated by account wiht alternative email (resque) but i am not getting any email from Apple for the restoreing my secret Ques Answer
please help.The Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
a. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
c. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions. -
My Apple ID (email address) is somehow registered to the US store even though I live in the UK. Is there any way I can close the US account and open a UK one with the same ID/email?
No, but you can change the country of your iTunes Store account. Sign into your iTunes Store account and click the "change country" link. You'll need a valid UK credit card to complete the change. If you have any credit balance remaining, you'll need to contact the iTunes Store to clear that for you before you'll be able to change the country.
Note that if you purchased anything from the US iTunes Store, you probably will not be able to re-download it nor update apps once you change the country. So you may prefer to set up a new email address so you can create a new account in the UK iTunes Store. You can change the email address to which receipts and other notices are sent to your actual email address, if you prefer.

I received an email from "Apple Alerts" <[email protected]>
Subject: Pending Purchase Notification
Your AppleID was used to buy the "H&C" from the iTunes Store on a Personal Computer or device that had not previously been linked to that AppleID.
This purchase was initiated from the following IP: 217.149.115.181 (Volgograd, Russia).
If you made this buying, you can overlook this email. It was emailed to you just to warn you if you did not make the purchase by your own.
If you did not make the operation, we encourage you to verify your AppleID:
Does anyone know if this is a scam? Sound like a scam to me? Thanks LuIt's not from Apple, it's a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details - forward it to Apple : [email protected] , and then delete it.

I received an email from apple stating my icloud storage was almost full. I deleted apps and photos and the storage has not changed, so what am I supposed to do?
... I clicked on it (I know I am not supposed to do this - I won't ever do it again) and no window opened up.
You're right - it is never a good idea to click on links sent in an email unless you are absolutely certain they are legitimate, and that is only becoming more difficult as spammers and phishing attempts are getting better every day. Having no association with Verizon is all the more reason to simply delete the thing.
Next, by supplying your email address all you did was confirm to whatever site was sending you this spam that your email address was legitimate. Again, when in doubt just delete the email and forget you ever saw it.
... How can I check to see if my computer has been hacked and how can I protect it further.
The good news is that is highly unlikely. The bad news is that your email address might be used as the "from" address for spam sent to others, and that you are only more likely to get more spam from the phony Verizon site as well as every other potentially malicious operators.
The best advice would be to simply abandon that email address, but if you can live with the previous potential concerns it would be overkill. I would recommend changing your passwords for financial institutions (banks, credit cards and so forth) as well as your email account or accounts. That is simply good practice whether or not you did what you did.
As far as any malware is concerned, again that is unlikely, but make sure you run Software Update to get all Apple's latest updates. -

I received and email from Apple Customer Support that my Id has been stolen and that I am to sign into the link provided and update by changing password. I am not certain that the email came from Apple.
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.

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 SupportIn that case, someone is trying to hi-jack your Apple ID.
You should change your password immediately.
