Apple Approval Notice

We have noticed that your Apple iCloud id was recently used at "APPLE STORE In CA" for 143.95, paid by Apple Pay Pre Authorization. Also some suspicious sign in request and apple pay activation request detected. That looks like suspicious to us. In order to maintain the security and privacy of your account we have placed those request on hold. Your Photos, Data, Bank Information and Cards are at risk. If NOT you? talk to an Apple Representative. Failing may lead to auto debit and charge will not be reversed. Call 818*****46 immediately to cancel this charge.

Yes, it's the exact same scam message that's been going around for at least a month.


Do not respond in any way. That just confirms a live address for the crooks and you'll get even more such junk.


Delete and ignore.
