Possible Iphone 7 Scam

Thank You. I was having the same problem. So far it worked.

Clearing History and cookies may help getting rid of this issue as I had the chance to do and it disappeared.

I Was so excited I did the survey. How do I make sure that it nothing fraudulent happens to me.

Yes, it is a scam.

This scam just came up on the app "Map My Run" How do I get rid of it?

FFollow the same directions in thread.

delete map my run to prevent them serving you phishing attempts.

I Had a similar pop up for iPhone 6 reward for a test. Decided to check out first whether it was a scam as I tend to believe that if it is too good to be true it probably is. Glad I didn't get sucked in.

TThank you thank you. This worked!!!

I received this today too! Almost signed up for it until my wife told me it was probably a scam because Apple gives nothing away for free, especially their new phones! Thank you everyone for taking the time to post about it.

Received it this morning and klicked ok but then closed the tab immediately and provided no information. Yes, should have searched for information before that but couldn't get rid of the "click ok pop-up". Stupid, I know.

Was any harm done? Someone in the thread already said that clicking "ok" is not harmful. Is that really true? 😐 As I said I closed the tab immediately after clicking "ok" and provided no information.

I had just downloaded a new health log app to my iPhone when I got the 'important message' screen. I thought it was part of setting up the new app, like a welcome message, but now I realize it was only a pop up advertisement in the app. So when I clicked on the ad, Safari opened with the 'tester of iPhone 7 message' which I've recently read about and recognize as phishing. So I did not want to click OK but my screen froze and my only option seemed to be to click OK. Took me a good while before I found out that I could quit Safari and press 'clear history' in the Control panel to finally get rid of the frozen screen. :/

Needless to say I immediately deleted my new iPhone app. I do not wish to use any apps that allow that kind of fraudulent advertisements.

But this seems to be the way these frauds do it, by ads in iPhone apps. 😟

It took me a little while to find this, but here is the address where you can report this behavior:

reportphishing@apple.com

Really? Cause that email address is in the link I provided in the first page of this thread.

This one:

http://www.apple.com/legal/more-resources/phishing/

It also has a bunch of other useful information to spot scams.

You're absolutely right about that, sorry about the mistake, I clicked this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ instead and couldn't get to where your link pointed out. The one you provided is very useful!

This scam is still going strong. I had an encounter with it yesterday. All the details are in my blog post.
