SCAM EMAIL ostensibly from Apple

Hello

The following content was in an email I received stating it was apple. The return address is apparently in China, as evidenced by the fact that when I clicked the link SIGN IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT, a red page auto warning appeared stating DECEPTIVE WEBSITE WARNING, close page. So I did. I wanted to share this with apple support who I hope will investigate the incident and so I could help warn others this could happen to them, too.


When I clicked the reply arrow this showed up:


'Apple ID'

***@jejihhixwr.com. (apparently a Chinese address)


Following is the entire content of the email, It looked very official with the apple logo but you can see the minor grammatical errors:


_______________________________________________________




Someone just tried to sign in into your Aρρle ID from other IP address.




IP Address : ***


Country : China


Browser : Google Chrome
