kappy is spot on, so follow his advice with one caveat, FORWARD the email (if you still have it) to [email protected] THEN Delete With Prejudice!
No matter how cleverly designed phishing emails are, the telltale characteristic is the URL displayed when you hover over the live link (some email clients make it a bit more challenging to see the URL, but one can do it). It MAY have 'apple' in it somewhere to give it more credibility, but it should be pretty clear it is not from Apple.com <- ALL apple URLs will have this domain.
Further, it is not recommended that you paste the body of phishing emails here as the nefarious links the phisher wants you to click is now alive in this forum. Not to worry, I will ask our gracious Hosts to edit the link(s) out for posterity.

  • HT204088 someone other then myself is using my debit card to purchase things on itunes what can i do?

    ok here is the thing someone is buy itunes things with my card the bank says there is nothing they can do that i would have to contact u

    Contact iTS immediately.
    If it turns out they are In-App purchases (most likely), then it's most likely your kids not realizing real money is not play money in their game purchases.

  • I keep getting an email telling me someone has used my Apple id to purchase an app

    Your Apple ID was just used to purchase Grudge Match (2014) from the iTunes Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID. You may also be receiving this email if you reset your password since your last purchase.
    If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not make the purchase yourself.
    If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to <link> to change your password, then see <link> or further assistance.

    What should I do ?
    Please help me !

    I believe apple no longer accepts debit cards in some countries. Try a credit card instead.  Go to settings/iTunes and App Store tap on the ID then then tap on view apple ID and log in then tap on account info and have a look at the billing options available to you

  • I recently used a visa giftcard to purchase music off of intunes onto my iphone 4

    I am in desperate need of any assistance. i recently use a visa giftcard to purchase songs on itunes and now that the giftcard has run out of money i can no longer download anything and it wont let me delete the card. i want to download a free app but because i cant get rid of this giftcard and i have no other one to enter i cant do anything. there is no none selection for registering the card. i have google this question many times and nothing is helping so far. please help me.

    If you don't aren't getting the 'none' option then do you owe iTunes anything or have any pre-orders/subscriptions due : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ?

  • Can I use an iTunes card to purchase iCloud storage?

    Can i use an iTunes card to purchase iCloud storage?

    Looking at your stated article on 01/04/2014 in the additional information near the bottom it says explictely that you cannot use a itunes gift card to purchase. Then it says you can use store credit. How elese would you get store credit other than a itunes gift card? Maybe there is a quasi answer. Yes you can use existing store credit before you sign up for account, but not actually during the checkout. At times thru the year apple will rune utunes $25-$50 gift cards on sale for 20% off. Usually when a new iPhone comes out. I just bought a $50 gift card for $40. Xmas I guess. So I guess until someone trys this for services like plus iCloud Storage OR iTunes match we just don't know until someone post. For people looking for a defintive answer today- itunes gift cards are only good for purchases of Apps, Movies, Music. No hardware like iphones, cables, adapters, etc.

  • I bought an iTunes gift card, reedemed it, and when i try to buy a game it doesn't let me use my credits, but instead I have to buy it using my Visa card?

    I bought an iTunes gift card, reedemed it, and when i try to buy a game it doesn't let me use my credits, but instead I have to buy it using my Visa card?

    What exactly do you see when trying to buy a game, what messages do you get on-screen ?
    If it's an account that you've just created then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store. You should be able to remove the card after entering its details.
    If you are getting a prompt to review the account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054

    I am having a lot of trouble with trying to use my debit card on purchase of itune apps or music. Whenever i put my card information in it tells me that this card is invalid. But there is no way that my card is invalid because i just got it last week. So the only thing i haven't done yet is call my bank to check and see if all my bank statements match but if they do then have no idea what to do to get this to work with my computer, ipad mini, or ipod    HELP! PLEASE!

    I am having this same problem and I have even contacted my bank. The address they have is EXACTLY the way I am typing it.  It does match.  I do not understand.

    You can also use prepaid iTunes cards, if those are available in your country. PayPal is also an option if you're in the US.
