Spam text from AppID ??

I have just received a text from AppID asking me to verify my details on a website link as my iPhoneID is on hold because of suspicious account information.


I haven’t done anything, is this a spam text?

  • Apple does not send such messages. 
  • Apple would not warn of a pending account issue, giving you a deadline to fix the issue. 
  • 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.
