Hey there, and welcome to Apple Support Communities Vicca_82,


We can certainly understand your concern and are here to help.


We recommend checking out these steps for more information on what to do and how to recognize a phishing attempt.


" Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams

Use these tips to avoid scams and learn what to do if you receive suspicious emails, phone calls, or other messages. 


If you receive a suspicious email or SMS text message that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, please email it to reportphishing@apple.com

Phishing refers to fraudulent attempts to get personal information from you, usually by email. But scammers use any means they can to trick you into sharing information or giving them money, including: 

  • Fraudulent emails and other messages that look like they're from legitimate companies, including Apple
  • Misleading pop-ups and ads that say your device has a security problem 
  • Scam phone calls or voicemails that impersonate Apple Support
  • Fake promotions that offer free products and prizes
  • Unwanted Calendar invitations and subscriptions

If you're suspicious about an unexpected message, call, or request for personal information or money, it's safer to presume it's a scam and contact that company directly if you need to. If you're concerned about a security issue with your Apple device, you can get help from Apple.

If you believe that your Apple ID has been compromised, or if you might have entered your password or other personal info on a scam website, change your Apple ID password immediately.

How to protect your Apple account and devices

Here are some things you can do to avoid scams that target your Apple account and devices.

  • Never share personal information like credit card numbers, unless you can verify the recipient is who they claim to be.
  • Protect your Apple ID. Use two-factor authentication, always keep your contact information secure and up to date, and never share your Apple ID password or verification codes with anyone. Apple never asks for this information to provide support.
  • Never use Apple Gift Cards to make other kinds of payments. 
  • Learn how to identify legitimate Apple emails about your App Store or iTunes Store purchases. If you send or receive money with Apple Pay (U.S. only), treat it like any other private transaction.
  • Learn how to keep your Apple devices and data secure.
  • Download software only from sources you can trust.
  • Don't follow links or open or save attachments in suspicious or unsolicited messages. "
