i received an email that someone (in spain) has bought an app (tunin radio pro) with my Apple ID. There was a link if this wasn't me, to change my settings.
"Your Apple ID was just used to purchase TuneIn Radio Pro from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID".
it looked real so I clicked on the link to change my settings but i got an error. Is this a virus?
i Already changed my Apple id...
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.3
It may have been a scam. You may wish to check the email address used to send the message. Click on the tiny arrow when you hover over the From: entry.
thnx for your help.
the sender is me (???), my name and e-mailadres is mentioned...
when I look at the link (without clicking) it says Something different then the usual links from Apple...It seems to me it is a scam. Does this attacks my iPhone?
It's a scam, then. No, it does nothing to your phone until you click on any links after which it is possible depending upon the site's purpose. But you should be aware that if you actually do use your Apple ID to purchase something, Apple does send you an email. You don't have to click on anything. It's just an alert so you know a purchase was made. Obviously, if you did make the purchase then you do nothing. If you didn't make the purchase then you need to contact Apple directly (not through the email.)
I received this exact email today. It says go to update.apple.com, which is apparently not a website. Wish I had read this forum before I blamed my son for purchasing TuneIn Radio Pro. LOL!
