I received an email, based on my secondary email account, with an alleged bill (Receipt # 850120001476) for $52.98, for two alleged purchases from iTunes Store. To me,since I have not many any purchases from the iTunes Store, this is a malware scam email. Has anyone experienced a similar scam?

Yes, there's a couple of those per day reported on the forums.

Chances are it is a fake. See Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store. You may want to forward the message to reportphishing@apple.com before deleting.

Hi Limnos & turintest2:
Thanks for the advice. I have duly forwarded my phishing email to reportphishing@apple.com.
Hopefully, since i have not used iTunes store, I will have no balance owing on my account.
Appreciatively, Arbyem
You're welcome. 🙂
