I have received an email about Apple ID and I am not sure if it is spam

I have received two e-mails concerning my Apple ID. It is written that my Apple ID will be block if I will not verify it. I am not sure if it is a spam of a real e-mail. I attach screenshots below.

  • Apple does not send such messages. 
  • Apple does not include document, or PDF files to download.
  • Apple would not refer to you as Dear Customer, Dear Client, or anything other than the name on file for your account.
  • Apple would not have such horrible spelling or grammar. 
  • Apple would not send a message to “Undisclosed Recipients”. 



It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.
