Definite scam.


  • Apple does not send such messages. 
  • Apple would not warn of a pending account issue, giving you a deadline to fix the issue. 
  • Apple does not include document, or PDF files to download.
  • Apple would not refer to you as Dear Customer, Dear Client, or anything other than the name on file for your account.
  • Apple would not have such horrible spelling or grammar. 
  • Apple would not send a message to “Undisclosed Recipients”. 


It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.

I think it is a scam, because if it was sent from apple, it would have been support@apple.com, instead of the one you made mentioned of. Please for further more check and ask the support team to send you list of all their robot email, so as to let you identity scammer once you see them.


thanks

Hi,


Thank you for that answer. I got the same email as eden167 yesterday. I deleted it and reported it to apple like you said.

I received a new one a few moments after that, similar to the first.

Do you know why I'm getting those all of a sudden ? Should I do something for my accounts security ?


Thank you in advance !

If this is a scam, then apply have to verify, or any of the moderator have to check and give us feedback.... but for now since many have been receiving this same message and the admins or support have not said anything about it, then let's concur.
