I am being told that i will be locked out of my acct.

I am being told that i will be locked out of my acct. and that i should open appleid.apple.***, but the email sent to me comes from something calling itself thankmasih-mailaccount-repportstireo** and is addressed to kuku-**reply@apple.info. The subject line also shows a case number --Am I being scammed?

Please respond as soon as possible...I'm afraid of scam but also of possibly being locked out of my account!

Yes, that is most definitely a thief who is attempting to steal your Apple ID credentials. Do NOT, respond, or download any attachments.

  • 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(s), Dear Client(s), 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.


reportphishing@apple.com


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