Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Good morning, I'm using an Ipad. Following a email request to check my Apple store ID and to enter my current ID and password, a new window openned requesting to verify the paiement data, name, address, credit card.... The format of this window was http. and not https. I then shutted it down.
Is it a fishing case or the regular way ? How to be sure it is secure ?
Thak you

If the grammar and sentence structure had been correct I might have. Hard to tell the real from the scam these days. How do they use applieid.apple.com as a return or from email?

I am glad you spotted it; thank you for sharing 🙂
so i went to apple for some software support and was re-directed to Iyogi to pay for my support. After the session the mac said it did not recognise the device that last logged onto my computer??
Have I just been hacked??
Yes. You didn't go to Apple, you went to an Apple look-a-like site. Apple never redirects for payment.
Today when looking at video for mokingjay part one, I gto a pop up stating that I had gotten a virus and to call Apple Customer Service, it gave a 1-888-273-5670. I called and the person said his name was Justin, but talk with a India Style accent, he wanted my Apple Serial Number, and then wanted to know how old my iPad was, he came back and ask why I havent taken care of my iPad. He also stated that there were a lot of people trying into my iPad. Then he tried to get me to purchase a security update. When I stated I was not comfortable giving anything over the phone he stated he would send me a receipt for me to pay. I did give him a name and iPad number. Hopefully this can get to Apple tech, to chase these fakes down.
tthe site address that showed up when the pop up started was http:\\occss.us.
If you gave them any information at all it's likely that you will have future problems. This was not Apple you called; it was a criminal. If they have your serial number or IMEI number they can hold your device for ransom by reporting it stolen. This is a common scam. And there's nothing you can do about it now.
I too encountered the same problem following an attempt to buy an app. But your link to overcome this situation doesn't seem to be working.
May you please redirect me.

Read Diane's post once more. That link takes you to the phishing site. It's probably not working because it's been taken down.
No wonder a lot of people fall for these tricks.
