Is this real?

I received this email from apple today and I was curious whether this was a scam or if it is real? Judging by the email address it was sent from and sent to seemed fake as well. When I clicked on the link to verify it brought me to an apple website that seemed real but when I clicked on the menu pull down it wouldn’t come down which leads me to believe it’s fake. Please let me know if this is something I should be worried about.

No, it is a scam.


  • 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.
