Hi! Apple provides some guidelines to help people check if an email is genuine or not. These are the signs of scams that you should look out for:


* The sender’s email or phone doesn’t match the name of the company that it claims to be from.
* The email or phone they used to contact you is different from the one that you gave that company.
* A link in a message looks right, but the URL doesn’t match the company’s website.
* The message looks significantly different from other messages that you’ve received from the company.
* The message requests personal information, like a credit card number or account password.
* The message is unsolicited and contains an attachment.
