Apple Approval Notice




We have noticed that your Apple iCloud id was recently used at "APPLE STORE - 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 +18***228 immediately to cancel this charge.

Whatever you do, do not select the link.

You may want to look Apple care up through a web browser to find the official apple phone number and call apple, not these bozos.

They will likely confirm it is a scam and have you swipe it away and report it as spam.
