Not really, cuz the emails I received are notifications that my email was used to create an appleid,  to sign in to iCloud and Facetime....

The verification email I received when someone entered my email address in his apple id. Oh well, I already changed the password so the person who used my email won't be able to sign in with this email anyway.

id.apple.com is not from Apple, And yes, apple should do something about this adress

appleid@id.apple.com is not from Apple

or apple@id.apple.com is not from Apple

id.apple.com is not the same as apple.com

The REAL DEAL is appleid@apple.com  and https://appleid.apple.com

have a nice day

Spoofed. No legitimate company will ever email you and ask you to click on a link to another domain like what you've posted. Spam it!

I have just received one of these spoof emails.  I find, as with all spoof emails, that if you hover over the link that they want you to clcik (DON'T click it), then it reveals the url of where it's really going.  Absolute giveaway mostl;y.

Nothing in that suggests it is anything to do with Apple

But like others have said, if you haven't changed anything, you won't get a confirmation email.  And why would Apple suddenly make your id expire in 24 hours?

Just sayin.....

I don't think this has been mentioned yet in this thread, so I would suggest that if you received a phishing email like these, forward it to reportphishing@apple.com.

Thanks... I have just done that very thing.

The link you posted actually redirects to a completely different one.

I will not post the entire URL here but it begins with

http://www.brazilianrhythms.com/

... which is in all likelihood a totally legitimate website.

I redacted the remainder of the brazilianrhythms URL, which if present will load what appears to be a perfect duplicate of Apple's "My Apple ID" page:

Completing the Apple ID and password fields and clicking Sign In loads another page with practically all the information required to steal your identity (none of which is required by Apple when changing your Apple ID password by the way). Completing that page loads this one:

Who knows what a "3D Secure Password" is but it doesn't matter - by the time the above page loads your information has already been lifted.

No matter what is entered clicking "Verify your account" loads the following page where it mercifully abandons the hapless user:

Notice the "Welcome to Paypal" title though. Oops!!

All the pages are fairly authentic-looking. Some of the links are even legitimate. If they fool even a tiny percentage of Apple's half billion iTunes account holders, that's a lot of Apple ID and credit card information in the wind.

These phishing scams are very easy to perpetrate and are becoming more common. Be careful.

I recieved this email (below), which is bogus, since I haven't logged in to my account for months:

******************************************************************************** **********************

Hello,

Thanks Erugina. Positioning your cursor over the link in the email reveals what site will load if you were to click it:

These scams may be easy to create but their true nature is just as easily determined. Read Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email

I just received this same sort of email.

I did a quick google search to see if this was a scam and found this thread.

One thing that alerted me to the idea that this wasn't legit is the lack of Apple's usual logo, the typeset seemed different that I'm used to seeing on Apple alerts, there was no change in shading on the email (similar to what you see on this web page) and the fact that it only said Alert in the subject line.

Be aware, this is still floating out there and should not be trusted.

Tortured English is a dead giveaway. Scam.

Phishing attempts or their historical equivalents have been with us since the dawn of mankind, and will persist through its end.

YES

I recieved the email below too:

I logged into my apple account(not with the link in the email) and changed my password, then checked for any recent purchases or data changes.There was nothing suspicious.

I guess it was Phising/fake email.

It is definitely a fake. In fact you didn't need to change the password, but there is no harm in your having done so. They are trying to get you to enter your details in their fake site so that they can hack your account and make purchases in your name; as you did not do so you don't have a problem, and you were right to be cautious.

Any message supposedly from Apple which does not address you by name is a fake.
