iTunes email scam?

That address gives a potential phishing hazard warning when I tried it.

Where are you seeing this?

FYI: You should update your OS to 10.5.8. Your signature shows 10.5.4.

I got the same email to my university account but it had another student's user name and email on the top. One thing that I noticed was that all my legitimate came from an @apple.com address but this phishing email comes from @iTunes.com. What's next that people are going to phish with?!

Hello Everyone!!

I need a little help here..

So my director got this email. She pressed on the link and download the "flash player". she said that the screen turned into red.

Anyway she tan AVG antivirus scan, and offcourse nothing found. she restored the system. but i am not sure how we can check if we get rid of this virus or not? and suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I've gotten the same email 3 times...and in every one of them whoever sent it has a terrible concept of how an order total should usually match or be more than the subtotal. This didn't even make sense....

I mean apparently in one I bought something for 11.99 which then subtotaled to 174.99 and then add on the $0 tax and it all equals 48.99.

The second one is 45.99 which subtotaled to 193.99 and then add on the $0 tax and you get 883.99.

Then the third one is 547.99 which subtotaled to 845.99, then add on the $0 tax and you get 588.99.

Smart....real smart.

Anyway she tan AVG antivirus scan

Really? On her Mac?

but i am not sure how we can check if we get rid of this virus or not?

If it's a Mac, she did not get a virus.

No.. on PC not MAC.. i am trying several antivairus, Trojan hoarses scanners, but till know i couldn't find anything..

I got lots of these today! Was a bit scared, but some of them were to different email address!!!

Will forward asap.

It won't let me forward the email.
"Your email message was unable to be sent because your mail server rejected the message."

Copy and paste the email, including headers, into a new message.

I just logged on and got the same thing. First of all, I don't have a credit card on my itunes account, so there's no way they charged anything.

Secondly, they used an old email address, not the one registered with apple, so it seems like an alarming, but essentially impotent scam.

Yes I have just received 3 invoice emails with a credible looking iTunes receipt, for $973, $824, and $195. None are mine. I called apple customer care who promised to contact me but still have not. Does anyone know the correct apple iTunes email to forward these scam emails to? somebody at the apple empire should at least be investigating some of them.
Thx

Hi – I just posted about this but in the completely wrong section. Whoops!

I have also received several ITunes “receipts” in my spam folder that show separate transactions to the tune of $874.99, $193.99 and $944.99. Of course, I haven’t purchased or been charged for them but wanted to forward them onto wherever / whoever they should go so it can be looked into further.

My reason for posting was to ask if there’s an email address I could forward them onto and I’ve just clocked the “Reportphishing@apple.com” that someone kindly posted.

I’ll send them over now. Dodgy sods aren’t they? They actually look quite legit!

It is good advice to always use a service like Spamex.com and HideMyAss.com when creating any account or joining any group. I received the same Itunes scam email but it was addressed to a different email address then I use for Itunes account. I supply each group or site I log on to with a specific and unique address like ItunesBuyer@Spamex.com(example) while using HideMyAss.com to screen my IP address supplying each group with a different geographic location.

Security should be your first concern.

iTunes Support is aware of this scam... if you really want you can report your issue through the support website...

Better yet forward the email to -> reportphishing@apple.com
as was previously mentioned in this thread.
