HEADS UP! PHISHING SCAM OUT THERE!
Aug. 25th, 2014 06:42 pmHeads up Apple product users, be it iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac, what have you. I just got an email, supposedly from Apple stating that my account had been locked and to go to the provided link and sign in with my ID and password.
This email is fake, and might be in different forms / worded differently for you. DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS! Forward the entire thing to reportphishing@apple.com which is a monitored email that will make Apple aware of it and they can take appropriate action. Then delete it immediately.
Clicking through the link will lead you to a phishing site that will then have gleaned your account information.
