Phishing email I received an email from someone saying my Apple account was locked because someone tried to log in on an unfamiliar device. The website wanted my social security number, my credit card number, etc. I did not send that in because it seemed suspicious. Please let me know if my account is blocked. I logged out of that website and signed into apple.com and had no problem. Please advise Linda [Personal Information Edited by Moderator]

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

Apple 'How to identify, avoid, and report phishing' video--> https://youtu.be/SR3Z3fXXjfw

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

Apple won't email you about locking an account. You'll find out when you try to log in.
