Jul 17, 2016 5:57 PM in response to Nielby jbow1335,What can I do about it then and how do I stop it? No money has gone from my bank account yet? Do you know how long that takes? I was doubtul because the email address was ‘IDZ93*****@fmf.icloud.com' which seemed a bit long winded to me and my laptop came up with a warning when I clicked the cancel purchase link on the message

An actual receipt looks like what you posted above but won't have a Cancel Purchase link.

Contact iTunes Support as soon as possible and explain what you received. Also contact the bank and stop the transaction.

Jul 17, 2016 5:25 PM in response to jbow1335by turingtest2,As long as you haven't entered your Apple ID and password on a fake Apple/iTunes page then there shouldn't be anything to worry about. There is no transaction to cancel. Making you think there is will be designed to get you to rush to cancel without being critical of what happens on the way. Once they have your Apple ID and password then they can rack up fraudulent charges to the account.

Jul 17, 2016 5:50 PM in response to turingtest2by elcpu,Yes, you are right (as always). I misunderstood, I thought the invoice was on her actual account, especially after reading Niel's first post. As an aside the OP's post has 5 active links. One "appears" legit (the invoice number), the other 4 seem suspicious. I am going to ask the hosts to remove them.

Jul 17, 2016 6:03 PM in response to turingtest2by elcpu,It took two reports (I had to go through Niel's post for the second one). The two squares were active as well - now gone. While hovering over the Order ID I accidentally clicked it and was directed to an Apple looking site. I closed it but maybe I have been "infected".

Does this mean that you followed the path it afforded and provided your personal information and Credit Card details?
If so, you need to take drastic actions = NOW !!
- Contact your credit card issuer and cancel the card account
- Change your Apple ID password > Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support

Jul 18, 2016 2:33 PM in response to rosanna69by jbow1335,Sounds awful but I'm so relieved that other people have had this and had to search it too! Was so stressed I spent all last night refreshing my bank account and trying to change all my passwords!

Jul 20, 2016 7:40 AM in response to jbow1335by let123,It's fake, I got the same one. Compare it to previous legit invoices from Apple and you'll see some differences- like the sender was Apple TM which is normally Apple, and in the legit emails they usually have my billing address on it, whereas the fake just had my email.
