Your credit card is about to expire

Overnight I received what is purportedly a phishing email from iTunes.com regarding updating of my credit card info. I did not click on anything in the email and searched the community to find others have received the same email in the past few days and that it is not legit. So at this point I’ve done nothing. Now, I try to make a purchase on Apple TV and get the ‘Your credit card is about to expire’ message and the purchase won’t complete. My credit card on file does not expire for another couple of years. Coincidence? Is something more malicious going on? Or is something going on inside Apple that hasn’t been acknowledged yet?

Same thing here, but I never got a phishing attempt.

That doesn’t look legit.

  • There is no such thing as iCloud 55 GB. The true plan is for 50 GB.
  • The instructions are not correct. The options on devices are named differently.
  • Apple emails have Apple branding, not iCloud branding.
  • Personal messages have personalized salutations (Dear «first name»).

The phishing is likely in one of the inline links. Trying to get your payment details through a look-alike site.

I’ve seen these twice in the last month, one for iCloud and the other for Music. They’re legit alright - no internet links to click (one had Settings instructions and the other had a button that opened App Store locally). The emails were from both Apple.com & iTunes.com (verified by examining headers). The extra 5G is the free included.


All that said, ignoring works.
