Potential phishing scam from applefeature website

I received an email from applefeature.com telling me to reserve my spot for an interview on top realtors in ontario, Canada. Is this a scam or is applefeature.com a part of Apple.

Let's look at this logically. Why would Apple be asking for you to be involved in an interview for realtors? I can't think of any reason.

Yes, it's a scam. Delete it and move on.

Ah, so much for my typing abilities. No s. Not Vilnius. That’s a different domain.

It’s a GoDaddy domain. Still no Apple network services or affiliation visible anywhere.

What little I can find references “News Feature PR”, which is a PR firm purportedly providing placement for Apple News and “other top-tier media outlets.”

The domain itself was created September 2nd 2025; brand new.

Yeah; I would approach this very cautiously.

You could contact Apple directly from a known good number.

See if anything here seems appropriate:

Contact - How to Contact Us - Apple

There's also an Apple Media Helpline at the bottom of this page:

Apple Leadership - Apple

If it does turn out to be legitimate, I hope you'll let us know.

The domain is hosted with a Vilnius-based hosting provider, and with no mention of and no references to any Apple network infrastructure, all of which would be very unusual for an Apple-related domain.

Was the invitation email using an Apple.com email address?

That sounds like a red flag.

Not sure I will go much further, unless Apple gives the all clear.

Definitely a proceed with caution situation.

Best of luck.

I received the same email today. Did you respond and go any further with applefeature.com? I'm a Realtor in SC and have had several awards and requests for interviews recently. Not sure if they're working off of that information or simply nefarious. Appreciate any insight you have gleaned!
