I don't tend to click on unsolicited links and sure as heck don't remember ordering this movie. I have figured it to be a phishing scam.
Anyone else?

Dear ed2345 and Nadine_brizuela,
As a Network Administrator I understand how these emails at first glance appear to be legitimate. Everything about them seems legitimate. That is why before commenting further, I waited for a response from Apple concerning this matter before confirming my worst fear. And as MiniBeast has stated: "I have figured it to be a phishing scam.", "it raised red flags immediately", "it's definitely a Phishing Scam to steal info." turns out to be correct and the word needs to get out to Apple customers as soon as possible, before any damage may be done.
As confirmed by Apple it is indeed an Phising scam. The links appear to be legitimate. They seems to point to Apple and above all, the very worst part is that they appear to be emailed from a legitimate Apple email server, when in fact it was not sent from Apple, as confirmed by the following response from Itunes support.
It is indeed a confirmed scam sent by hackers who could have only pulled this off by a DNS poisoning attack, but for me still seems fishy because of whois confirmation, but Apple confirms it did not come from them.
What is DNS poisoning: http://www.computer-network-security-training.com/what-is-a-dns-poisoning-attack /
For me, when I got this email, it seemed fishy to me as well, I opened it and it went to Apple, I closed out that browser and opened a different browser and went to Apple and reset my password and contacted support and then responded to this post above. With DNS poisoning it seems that the links are real because your browser says apple.com/... when in fact the links are completely fake sending you to a completely different server. And it even appears to be emailed from Apple, which, as confirmed by Apple, it was not.
The word needs to get out especially to all Apple customers, that this particular email is fake and a Phishing attack designed to get the users Apple ID login. I would not have believed it myself unless confirmed by Apple.
RESPONSE FROM APPLE SUPPORT BELOW:
Thanks for choosing Apple.
Greetings from iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is Mohammed and I am happy to assist you today.
I understand that you receive two emails from Apple about the movie. I know you must be eager to get this resolved. I will provide the necessary information.
I looked into this and found that neither the email nor its sender are affiliated with Apple. The email appears to be a phishing attempt, designed to trick users into visiting a website.
If you still have the email, please forward it to [email protected] so we can investigate it. If the email contains links or attachments, please don't open them.
Apple will only send you an email asking you to verify an email address in these situations:
- When you first set up an account
- Immediately after you add or change a contact email address for an Apple ID
Also, an email from Apple will never ask you for your password, Social Security Number, or full credit card number.
If you haven't already done so, I recommend following the suggestions in this article:
Apple ID: Security and your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4232
Also, here are other articles that you might find helpful:
Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email

I hope the information provided above is helpful.
if you have any further queries regarding iTunes Store, please reply to this email. I will be happy to assist you. Thank you for being a valued member of the iTunes family.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
iTunes Store Customer Support

Strange email from Skype ??

Hi! Two times so far that I received a strange email from Skype, in spanish or something!! I'm wondering what this is all about and why the heck spanish? I'm french canadian!
The email says something like :
Tu crédito quedará inactivo en 3 días.
Aparentemente, hace tiempo que no usas tu crédito de Skype. Recuerda que si no lo usas en un periodo de 180 días queda inactivo. Pero no te preocupes porque una vez que quede inactivo puedes reactivarlo cuando estés listo para usarlo. Simplemente inicia sesión en tu cuenta en Internet y sigue los pasos para reactivar el crédito. Detalles de tu cuenta:
Nombre de usuario: (myusername)
Saldo: CAD6,86
Plus, why is it talking about my account not being active and a balance of $6,86 I should have over $16...
Not sure what's going on and where to ask...
Thanks. Pat

Strange email from Sony?

I just received this strange email from Sony. First they called me the king (thanks for that), and after that they apologized for filling my inbox. That was all it said - have no idea what inbox they're talking about, I hardly doubt my inbox here is full. The email made me smile, was nice and all, but still a bit weird Do anyone know what its about? Had to translate it (the red text), cause my emails are in danish.

I had something like this in the early hours of the morning it seems to be something about a welcome ps4 email and them sending to many. Here's how mine looked. You may need to save the picture to get a better look.

Received email from "itunes store, orders@tunes.co.au, stating that I've purchased "Kill Bill Double Feature for $199. I have not. Is this a scanm?

Received email from "itunes store, [email protected] stating that I had purchased Kill Bill Double Feature movie bundle for $199.99". I have not bought this.
It is asking me to provide billing information to verify that I'm the legitimate account holder. Is this a scam?

Yes. Look at the address carefully - 'tunes' - and the link to enter your information will also be a non-Apple one. Don't follow any links; bin it.

How if i wanna receiving email from itunes to my icloud mail account if differences my Apple ID

my apple id using gmail accoun... Now i already have icloud mail accoun.. And how i wanna make all receiving email from itunes & apple to my iCloud account without change my appd id...???

Hi Kim,
The password for your iCloud account and your Apple ID are one in the same, as the iCloud email account is an alias for your Apple ID as well.
After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account.
iCloud: Set up an @icloud.com email address
Cheers,
Alex H.

I received a phishing email from what I thought was my bank. Do I need to do anything to my MAC for security?

I received a phishing email from what I thought was my bank. Do I need to do anything to my MAC for security? I have no anti-virus software.

Evelyn, there is nothing that can prevent you or anyone from falling victim to those attempts to defraud you – other than you.
"Phishing" scams are the most common way of getting people to voluntarily supply information that should be kept as secure as any other personal possession. "Anti-virus" solutions can't possibly prevent that sort of fraud, and if anything can only lull you into falsely believing you're being protected from threats, be they real or perceived.
Do you have any further advice so that I don't fear my Mac?
There is no reason to fear your Mac; it's a tool to be used for your sole benefit. Like any tool though, it can be misused. If there is any explanation for fear, it's a lack of education. Knowledge conquers fear and renders it inert. Learn what real threats actually exist, how to defend yourself from them, and how to distinguish them from those propagated by fear mongering psychopaths that justify their existence by keeping others misinformed. There are an abundance of the latter.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it. The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

I'm not getting emails from iTunes? Help?

So this all started a year ago when my first Apple iD just stopped working one day. I used an aim account and I had forgotton the password for that and I only recently reset it yesterday, so saying that, I tried resetting my Apple iD password for my first account but I haven't received any emails to either my back-up email or my first email. My first Apple iD has 80 dollars on it, and I would like access to it again.
(sorry if this is confusing)
Breakdown: I'm not receiving emails from iTunes to either email and I can't access my apple account and I want my 80 dollars back.
Why am I not receiving emails from iTunes????

I note that your email got to me fine - were you using the address that I gave in my posting or were you using the one in my profile? Could you overwrite the address in my profile with what you used to eliminate the possibility of a stray control character?

Email from iTunes? Huh?

I got the same "not available in US Store" and from what I read it should be.
I also read "in the email you got from iTunes"... I never got an email from iTunes and I submitted our podcast 4 weeks ago. It does come up in the "powersearch/title" when I type in "Brian and Mark Show".
My questions are:
1) When I search under Music it doesn't show up on the 5 pages of music shows although it is "findable" under powersearch.
2) My link on my podpress is listed as this below (from right-clicking/paste on my artwork in itunes) but when I ping iTunes in Wordpress/Podpress it comes back as "your request produced an error [newNullResponse]" Should I worry about or fix this, and if so, how?
3) Certainly it should show up under the category "music" which it is under by now?
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=253055793
Can ANYBODY help? We're just getting going and I hate to botch it right out of the gate.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

I had no trouble accessing your podcast through the "phobos" link you had in your post; no "not available" messages showed up, nor any other errors. Sometimes it takes a little while for a newly listed podcast to show up reliably, so if it gives you this message for a few days, don't panic.
In regards to the missing email "approval message" . . . I checked your in code, you have about 3 different email addresses in there, and you should also have a (different?) email address associated with the Apple ID you submitted the podcast under. Since I use(d) one email address under all fields when I submitted my podcast, I have no idea from which field the email address is grabbed to send the notification. You might want to try looking under each of those email address before you assume that email was never sent. Don't worry about it too much, though, because it's not really a big deal anyway - your podcast showed up in the Store. You have the ID# from your listing, and that is really the only important info that would have been in the email.
1) If you are searching under the term "music" in power search, only the top 150 most popular results are going to be displayed. Since you are new, you probably don't have enough subscribers to break into that list, and that's why you are searchable under some terms but not others.
2) Pinging through Podpress - my guess is that the "newNullResponse" message is standard when you ping through that service - error messages are commonly displayed when you ping through a service, but they still usually ping successfully. If you are truly worried about it, ping iTunes using this address: https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=253055793. It will give you a friendly "podcast ping received" message.
3) Do you mean the "music" category in the browse feature? (Your podcast isn't there . . .?) Oh boy, have you opened up a can of worms. We get reports in here all the time of podcasts not showing up in browse, even though they should. It's a pretty buggy system. Personally, I have 7 active podcasts in the Store, and 2 of them have never showed up in browse. That may not be able to be fixed.
Lastly, I don't think you have "botched" anything beyond repair - your podcast looks pretty good, especially if you have never done this before. Publishing podcasts can be such a jungle, with all the various tools and methods, and it's unfortunate that a lot of the time you just have to do it and make mistakes to learn how to do it correctly. Don't worry, have heart - you are on the right track.

TS3899 cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6.

cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6. it was working up until a few days ago and now refuses to load on both my ipad 2 and iphone 4S
in the process deleted all my contact, very annoying.
all help is much appreciated.
interesting that my gmail account does work perfectly.

this may or may not help - but give it a try. On a forum some were reporting that talk21 is now under the yahoo umbrella. below are the steps this use listed. (This was an android forum, but the email settings should be the same. In short it looks like their server names have changed. An existing account may have simply been forwarded - but if you are reinstalling, it may want a clean install to the right servers.) Pay particular attention to the server names and port settings. (this thread was started based on a discussion of Imap vs pop - you are already an Imap person - so ignore that part)
See if this helps.
why settle for pop3, when IMAP works with talk21 and not only does mail get pushed out faster with IMAP, but when you click refresh it will be received faster than pop3. The other advantage is subfolders are also supported with IMAP but cant be seen with POP3. This mail feature works with my android eclair & hero phone and the settings are exactly the same for win mobiles also (not tested). The mail setting up roadmap is the same from what i can remember once in the mail feature for win mobi.
This is what you need to do to setup Talk21 email with IMAP.
Incoming server settings
IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 143
Security type - none
Outgoing Server settings
SMTP server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 25
Security type - none Also important note - Enable 'require sign-in'
and enter your talk21 username and password The End...works a treat for me p.s. Its only taken me 3 years to work it out with win mobile and recently with android. Finally got it to work...hope this helps all the talk21 users out there. if there are any other similar posts out there with no answer...dont forget to mention my name when passing this post around.

IOS5.0.1 constant error "iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes": I get this message and the phone will no longer work (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range). help!

All- I get this message ("iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes" (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range)). iPhone 4. Newest OS. Never happened with old OS! Cycling phone on/off does not help. Ignoring message causes phone to cycle off then on. After first time this happened, I restored. Six days later...same problem! Clearly a new fix is necessary. Suggestions?

I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc). Any suggestions? What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?
