Unauthorized Purchase

Has anyone else got an email from the "App Store" thanking you for purchasing LifeTime from a computer or device not associated with your Apple ID?

That appears to be a common scam tactic. Check the info below for steps to help identify bogus emails.


  • 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.

If you provided your Apple ID and password at the bogus site, change your password immediately.
