Aug 13, 2016 12:38 PM in response to mac-air-newbieby K Shaffer,When you have a bank card listed in your Apple account that
does not have a shipping and billing information correct to it,
the bank will usually can balk at paying for the item.
There are several links to Contact - Apple in this page:
https://www.apple.com/contact/
Contact main online Apple Store directly; not through questionable
email. The online Apple Store portal for sales support may help.
Additional topic materials can be viewed following these links:
• Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email - Apple Support
• Phishing & Other Suspicious Emails:
https://www.apple.com/legal/more-resources/phishing/
I'd look into my Apple information and see how those details appear
because most banks want addresses to be in line with their billing.
However the shipping can be different, if you so need to do so.
A scam is a possibility, so work around it by contacting Apple.
{For my Apple items, the billing is always different because the
Apple Store did not want to ship to a post office building where
a locked box exists; that is my mailing address. They use carriers
who put boxes in the door step, in bad weather & have left them.}
Also, consider talking to your bank; if they have a problem with
your order from their point of view. Apple should be made aware
by contacting them directly, if you question validity of call or email.
Good luck in this matter !

Aug 13, 2016 2:48 PM in response to mac-air-newbieby ChitlinsCC,My bet is that this is legitimate. If I ran the zoo, I might not have thought to institute such a "filter" - but Apple may have had past experiences where it pays to at least ask. If all they asked of you is "Is this correct?", what nefarious thing could anyone be up to?
