Pandora Premium Subscription Plan Phishing Scam

I recently received what I believe to be a Pandora phishing scam in the form of an email informing me that I had signed up for a "Pandora Premium Subscription Plan" paid for through my iTunes account. Some information follows.

There was an I.D. # [I.D.346532-7432]

The charge for 3 months was $97.99

Listed as being something called Pandora Media

Method: R-Pay


If anyone knows how to get a phone number to actually speak to a human being at Apple iTunes and/or Pandora about this, I would appreciate it if you would send it over to me or post it here.

I have never signed up for any such plan via Pandora. I only have their free service.

It's probably faster to check for yourself.


You should check your subscriptions here:


View, change, or cancel your subscriptions - Apple Support


You should also check charges on your credit card. Most cards allow you to check in near real time on their app or on the website.


If you don't see charges on either your iTunes account or on your credit card, you can be fairly certain that what you have is one of the increasingly common phishing emails. They don't come from Apple or Pandora. They are a scam that tries to get you to click on a link and provide personal information.

I have been getting inundated with emails similar to this for the last 2 weeks. I keep checking my account to see if anything has been purchased but there is nothing there. Today's email was for movies purchased by someone in Texas with my account name. I won't click on any of the links, but it is a pain that you can't call someone easily at Apple to find out what is going on and if your account is somehow linked to someone else's.
