Scam email from noreply@apple.com?

I recieved this email and I got really scared. So i opened the link, filled in most of the information until i got to a point where i had to fill in my adress and everything to "certafy" my account. It was at that point i started to wonder. Then i checked the link, and there were not a single place it said "apple". And, when you go to that the link i pasted here it says it is a forbidden "server" or something... Is this a scam email, and if so, someone has to do something about this. I feel like I have a mild understanding of how things work on the internet, but imagine a 50-year-old got an email like this.

  • 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.
