Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Is this apple ID asking to pay for netflix fake?

So I am very worried when seeing the email as it looked legit. But the email address didn't seem right to me as usually it's things like support@apple.com (just an example).


The address was: ID4124HX@mobile.apple.com


I have never signed up for netflix and no one has access to my apple ID or account.


Anyone able to verify it is fake and ease my worries?


Thanks.

It's a phishing attempt trying to get your account and payment details (Netflix subscription is a fairly common one) - you could forward it to Apple : reportphishing@apple.com , and then delete it.
