Is this mail legitimate or scam?

I received an email from them saying I bought something on the App Store for $28 and that if I wanted a refund then they gave me the link. They sent a what looked like a legitimate receipt but what threw me off was when I click on the link it brought me to a website where it was asking me in order to cancel my purchase I needed to fill in my address and put in my card details. It also had a option for my social security as well but they made it optional. That threw me off and I want to know if I’m being paranoid or not lol

You’re NOT being paranoid, the phishing threat is VERY real and getting more sophisticated and convincing all the time.


You dodged this “bullet” … but continue to be vigilant. If your e-mail received this targeted phish, there will likely be more.

I got this same scam on November 7. It went into junk so I did not see it until November 11. At first I thought it was real, the link just took me to a blank google search page. I asked my daughter and she knew nothing about the game mentioned in the receipt. Then I finally clued in that it might be a scam. I checked my credit card and sure enough there was no such charge. Then I noticed the broken English and spelling errors at the bottom of the email. Then of course was the sender, which said "Service" which should have been my first clue. I think they catch people by surprise. We see "receipt" and our minds go into panic mode thinking, wait, I didn't buy that!
