Apple Game scam

I am pretty sure I've been scammed via an email, or tried to be scammed.... email said my Apple account has been debited for $79.88 for Airport City game. A link is then provided to get credit card numbers if invoice is incorrect/not mine and want to cancel. If I click on receipt number it takes me to a Danger Site found by my antivirus etc. I don't know how to report it other than this as there doesn't seem to be a way to warn of scams on Apple site.

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.

Yes, it's a scam. If you did not provide any information then there's nothing to worry about.


In a message Apple will always address you by your real name, never by your email address or Dear Customer. Also the sent-from address should be @apple.com or @itunes.com Additionally Apple does not send attachments.
