Spam or not spam?

I've got a message saying "Apple has chosen you to test out their products. Please check if your details are correct so we can proceed with shipping. tmfo2.com/mQesIq7RkZ "

I know most spam messages have a link which looks familiar like this and its surprising I just order a phone from apple and now spammers(if it it) message me like this.

Can anyone ensure me if it is a spam or not?

SPAM / SCAM / PHISHING


I’m sure that link would lead you to some form where you’d enter your AppleID credentials; which a criminal would then use to take-over your account.


Apple ALREADY has such a formal “testing” program for registered developers and those who choose to participate in Beta releases.


That said, the disturbing “coincidence” is noted. You should seriously consider signing-up for Apple’s 2FA if you’ve not already done so.
