Phishing email from Apple???
I received this today, below.
As I don't have an iMac, and have never heard of a 'do it yourself' repair, much less making a claim on one, I have to say - this is disturbing.
Another red flag is the 'we'll charge your card if you don't reply' bum's rush gambit.
How do I report phishing to Apple?
Thoughts?
