Fake Purchases

Hello, RockinAngels,

It is a scam. Apple provide guidance through these documents but the key factors are … Apple will always address you by your name or the name they know you by and the email will always come from an address that ends ‘@apple.com’.

Remember ... never click on a link within any suspect email

These are the Apple documents you need to keep on hand.

How to identify scam mail Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store - Apple Support

What address is the email from? Where does that Payment Cancellation link lead to? Sure looks fake.

It's a phishing email, it's not from iTunes - you could forward it to Apple : reportphishing@apple.com , and then delete it.

This is not an Apple email address, therefore it's a fake.

I received the same "fake purchase" e-mail, today. The e-mail I received came from "iTunes Store partnersupport@register.com" - and for the same item as you (you got the better price... $20 cheaper than what my e-mail message says...) Still - I'm concerned about this, as I've started receiving these sorts of messages (all related to iTunes purchases I clearly did not make!)... When I've forwarded the fake purchase e-mails to Apple, I'm not getting any response from them, either - which doesn't make me feel real good about this...

My bogus e-mail came from "iTunes Store partnersupport@register.com" (I forwarded it to Apple.)

Happy to have helped.
