Is this Phishing?

I received this email from iStore. Clicking on the link prompted a log into to apple and then asked almost immediately from my card details...

Presumably phishing right?



Your AppID was just used to download MAP GPS NAVIGATION PRO from the AppStore on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that AppID.

Order Number: QECVFS411BD
Order total: 29.99

If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.


If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to Cancellation Form to cancel this order.

Yes, it is. Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com and then delete it.

Its a cleverly disguised Phishing attempt yes. The page is very close to an actual Apple website. However, the URL the "Cancellation Form" direct to, Is not an Apple domain. And issues a Phishing alert on several browsers. It also claims things apple will never do.


Further more, Apple will not send emails like this. If you attempt to download something from the App Store on a device you have not done so before, you don't only need to log into your account on the device, but also verify it by answering your security questions directly on the device.



You can alert Apple about the Phishing attempt here:
