I think just got scammed also with the following email from apple.  I clicked the link and it sent to the i-forgot apple screen which looks authentic enough. They even had my old credit card details on the page and said I need to update them.  As I had not used the account for a long time to purchase it seemed authentic enough, but when I put in the new details i got a message a minute later on my phone that a transaction from apple  (ITUNES:COM/BILL)   had been successful for the value of 1.98 form Luxumberg. Strange as I had not downloaded any paid app that time, just a free one from the app store.  After checking the apps purchases nothing new showed up so I had no ideas what was going on.
Strangely enough, the Apple id password I changed also was changed on the official apple ID site and on all my devices so I am really not sure if it was a scam or just a f%&* up by apple.  I cancelled my card just in case. 
I even checked the web pages linked on the message and the authentic one and they seemed to be the same initial address.
Dear ,

    I have not made a purchase from iTunes or Apple in several months. When I log onto iTunes, my most recent purchase is logged as 14August2014.
    The email I received contains a hyperlink to iforgot.apple.com , but the underlying URL is to investmentnation.net
    I assume this is a scam and no purhcase has been made from my account ? Please advise as soon as you can.
    Thanks,

  • Hacked Message: Your Apple ID was just used to download Podcasts from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID

    So I just got a message from Apple saying
    "Your Apple ID was just used to download Podcasts from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID"
    I am new to Apple products and signed up to the app store about an hour before but have not downloaded any apps yet.
    I also turned on iCloud Drive.
    Neither of these are Podcasts and I do not have any Podcasts on my device.
    The message is a really poor warning, it could for instance list the IP address which would immediately tell me if it was me.
    It could list what type of device it was.
    It could list what Podcast was downloaded.
    But no, just some random message, probably generated by the really bad default iPhone settings that put ease of use before security.
    I have a long complex password that I do not want ot have to change just because Apple generates a stupid message.
    On Google you have a log of all logins and devices, is there something similar with Apple, so I can figure this out?

    I have not down downloaded any podcasts and there are no podcasts in the podcasts app, of course if Apple were to list the podcast that was downloaded, the IP address and the device it might help one dismiss the message.
    I am running the latest v8.1.1 although how the version of my OS related to a message generated by Apple servers is beyond me, unless my device is not authenticating properly so Apple thinks I am someone else but then as I have not downloaded any Podcasts that would not seem to be the issue.
    It does NOT say you downloaded a podcast. First, podcasts are not downloaded from the App Store; they are downloaded from the iTunes store.
    It's very clear to me; the app named  "Podcasts" was downloaded, not a podcast. "Podcasts" is a app provided by Apple for managing and downloading podcasts.

    Apple has been no help, Mac Store has been no help.
    Only iPad 2 & home computer authorized for downloading.
    Anybody have an answer/same problem?
    Thanks !

    I'm having a similar problem.  I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law &amp; Order.  Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy.  When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too.  No money was removed from my iTunes account &amp; theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop.  I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't.  I went to the Apple store &amp; they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help.  I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

  • I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

    i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died.  Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music.  It is all grey at the top of the screen.  Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id.  So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised.  if anyone can be of assistance then great!

    Five days ago I received an anonymous email with the subject:

    The content started: Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 From:(my email address) followed by a very,very,very long stream of gobbledygook. There is no record of it in my i-tunes purchases or my credit card statement but that might only be because I have not updated my credit card details. Should I be worried that my account has been compromised? Does anyone know how I can get through to the right section of Apple to deal with this - all the emails I get say no-reply so I don't have an email address to contact them on.
    I would be most grateful if anyone could help me with this.
    Thanks in advance

  • Your Apple ID was just used to buy ...

    I'm getting e-mails that don't seem to be spam saying "Your apple id was just used to buy" ...
    Is there a way I can check my purchases?

    It's likely to be a phishing email, there are a number of similar emails doing the rounds. Emails from iTunes tend to be personalised (not 'hello', 'dear customer' etc) and are written in proper grammatical language.

    I can't see anything genuine about it!
    Since the link to the Apple id: Tips for...   actually says it goes to a site named "bingo", I think it's quite clear that this is a phishing email, designed to get you to click on and go to their site, not an Apple one. I hope you have not clicked on the link.
    It is not a good idea to put your own persoanl information in a post on a public forum. I will ask our hosts to remove it and the link. Don't be surprised if they remove the entire thread.

  • Hi, I just received an email stating that my Apple ID was just used

    Hi, I just received an email to my private gmail that my Apple ID was used  to buy an app from the Apple Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with my Apple ID. The link sent allegedly to cancel the transaction, requires my credit card details. Is it a spam? Thanks a lot in advance for the clarification

    Sounds like a scam to me or rather phishing and I would expect it to want your CC details .Hope you haven't responded
    They are all over the world I get 2 or 3 a week similar  from " Apple "

  • Everytime I purchase using iTunes on my home computer it asks me to verify my c/card, and states "Your Apple ID, ..., was just used to purchase ... from the iTunes Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.

    When i use my laptop to make an iTunes store purchase, it always asks me to verify my account details by entering my credit card verification number. After i do this i then receive an email stating "Your Apple ID, ..., was just used to purchase ... from the iTunes Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID."
    My Laptop is my home device and apart from purchasing app's on my iphone 4, i only use my laptop to make itunes purchases.

    I'm having a similar problem.  I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law &amp; Order.  Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy.  When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too.  No money was removed from my iTunes account &amp; theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop.  I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't.  I went to the Apple store &amp; they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help.  I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

  • Just receive this email. There is no evidence that i have purchased anything. Dear client(e),  Your ID, was just used to purchase "Wrecking ball.Mp3" by 'Miley Cyrus' from iTunes Store on a computer or device that has never been used by you before.

    Dear client(e),

    This purchase was initiated from 'BRAZIL'
    If you made this purchase you can ignore this email, but if it was made in error, or if you believe an unauthorized person accessed your account, please reset your account informations immediately by going to

    It's a phishing attempt to get your account and payment details, it's not from Apple - if you clicked on the links in it and entered your details then you should change your password immediately e.g. by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and selecting 'view apple id' on the popup and signing into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
    If you still have the email then you could forward it to Apple : [email protected]

  • 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.

  • I have just been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks.  I have now changed my passport but want to know if I will be charged as I did not download this ?

    I have been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks.  I have now changed my password as I have not downloaded ibooks.  I would like to know if I am going to be charged ?

    Was it a genuine email from Apple or a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details ? Whether you will be charged will depend if anything was downloaded on your account, and whether or not it was a free item - we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know if anything has been bought on your account.
    The iBooks app is free app, but if you haven't already done so then check to see if anything shows on your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store.
    If a purchase shows there and you didn't make it, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and made it, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
