Apple Last Notification Message Spam

Today I got an iMessage stating it's a final notification from Apple that my Apple ID will be expired if it's not validated today.


It obviously sounds strange, but spamme has used following to make it authentic


Using Apple display name

Using a URL which seems valid Apple.validate.info

When you click on link, it goes to website which looks exactly same as iCloud login page, with correct link to forgot password (see below)

If you look carefully Apple.validate.info actually gets redirected to Appie.vaiidate.info


hope no one had enter their iCloud details which could lead to account getting hacked.


Not sure if Apple is trying to do any thing to stop it.

Hi,
I just received this text saying my apple I'd was about to expire but it obviously a spam as it redirects me to the following website link which I have not opened - http://appie-control.com , despite the text saying apple!


"Final Notification


Your AppIe ID is due to expire today. Prevent this by confirming your AppIe ID at http://appIe-control.com




AppIe Inc"


Please Apple look into this to prevent others from being spam/scammed.
