  1. That message never mentioned you by name.
  2. Subscriptions are automatic. That message clearly doesn’t know your credit card number and is desperately trying to convince you to provide it to them.
  3. Never click an unsolicited link. This directs you to a scammer who is (most likely) working in an organized scam call center in another country.


That’s all the evidence you need to block, report and delete the message.


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. 
