Does Apple ever require your SIN?

Question

Does Apple ever require your SIN?

Hey all,

I am worried that I may have just been phished by quite an elaborate scam. Text messages were sent to me asking me to verify my Apple ID (mind you, this is also after I have been having issues signing on) with a link attached. I clicked the link, and it looked very similar to Apple, along with the domain name being very similar. Not really thinking, I entered a lot of personal information, along with my SIN, immediately realizing that I may have made a mistake. I know theres a slim chance, but does Apple ever require your SIN? I feel like I do know the answer.

Thanks, tayfrom

STOP STOP Its a scam. Apple would never do that. Change you Apple ID password immediately because someone might be hacking your account. Or in this case just logging in. Please attach the link so I can double check and possibly report it to Apple.

Yeah, its too late, I knew when i had done it that it was a mistake. I am going to get in contact with Government Agencies immediately in the morning to see what actions I can take. Not like it would help at this point, but the link is crm.icloud.net/complete.html, jeez, actually looking at it is such an easy signal. I made a serious mistake.

It also has the SSL verification or the little green lock symbol.

Also Apple only uses .com so iCloud.com Apple.com subdoamian.apple.com

What does that matter, it's not from Apple.
