I recieved an email from "appleid@apple.com" this morning told me that someone was try to sign in with my apple ID from Jakarta (not me) and told me to verify my account by click the link in that email. I just wondering if this is really from apple? I've recieved some of fake email like this before, but never from @apple.com.
Thank you
This is the email
iPhone 6s, iOS 10
That email above is not from apple.com. You can put any return address you want but the underlying domain is not apple.com. Do you think this is apple.com? Hover over this link to see it is not really apple.com even though it looks like it.

They were wrong. Adding to Bob's point even if the apparent source and return address for the message is an apple.com email address that isn't sufficient to prove that it was sent from an Apple employee using a server controlled by Apple. More importantly the destination servers for those links in that message will be key. They're not going to be Apple's. "Dear Client" is a fairly obvious clue that the message is fake. Any company you have a proper relationship with will be able to address you properly, though again that isn't sufficient to rule out a fake.

I think you are having problems understanding that there are fake emails. This has always been and will continue. It is your job as a safe computer user to recognize when an email may be a phishing email and to not respond in any way to the email. Scammers have become very good at making fake emails look real. Be aware and practice safe computing.
i remarked that so respectfull people react immediately on topics about scam and phishing, ( most people doing there job for which receive salary not with such enthusiasm ) one give advices second offer help, third make tricks that's very good i think. all of you was sure on 101% that i am wrong in every thing. i was write about scamm and fraud,( things that impossible from apple ) but possible from ......
It will be strange for you but i still wondering in conjectures ....
If here is COMMUNITY where people DISCUSS and you are here to help :
Why hosts editing email address in most topics if all agree that it is Scamm or phishing ? such serious forum should have independent topic (as FAQ) with fake emails posting there.
My post was closed with label "We removed your post "Fraud ??? Interested in opinions" because it was nontechnical or off-topic. We understand wanting to share experiences, but these forums are meant for technical questions that can be answered by the community." without any requests or warnings for editing,(even if i was warning that my english os poor, and screenshots was show technical problems) like shoud be on indifferent resources. Hmm where is technical sence in this topic about email?
As for the end : mr. BobTheFisherman was write words by weight of gold. with you permission i will quote "Scammers have become very good at making fake emails look real." i will add one important thing - scammers use private information of victim (stealing or hacking it once) to make it believe that all real. 3 days ago i was registred here,chose nickname, was follow topics and started receiving noticed emails. Forgot to tell that at same time was change my initials ( name and surname ) in phone and email settings, was switch off Find Iphone and immediately receive email confirmations from apple with new initials. now i have more than 200 notice emails,about topics follows by me ... was see in this letters all what can be mixed from nickname and old initials. maybe it to early for right email?
thank you for reading and loosing your time on this topic...no sence to write in russian even if there will be more sence and details plus some humor but i decided to practice skils ,in your native language without using google translate)
That email isn't. Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com as an attachment and then delete it.

I know this, have enough of them in myy mailbox. Thanks for explaining
you can get email and with your correct name or nickname ( can show you if needed ) Without any "thanks" in the end and "hi" on the top but also fake by few criterials
I live here in California then I will go to a Apple store and ask one of the employee. The question is 'appleid@apple.com is real or a fake? Then you have the correct answer.
Is the email "appleid@apple.com" really from Apple?
