SMS messages your Apple service has been suspended“

Do others receive SMS messages stating “your Apple service has been suspended“? I treat them as scam and don’t open them.

I have never heard of anybody getting those, and certainly not from Apple.


Scams (e-mail, text messages, and phone calls) are getting very good at closely imitating true Apple communications. Always be cautious. Here are some guidelines:


Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/HT201679


Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - https://support.apple.com/HT204759


If you are uncertain about a message and a resource provided in that message, do not click on any links. Try to independently verify the resource by going to a support page on apple.com and use that to contact Apple or to verify the service the message is telling you to use.
