Sleep Cycle Premium app Phishiing Email

This isn't a question but a warning: Be careful of an email notifying you of a confirmation of your getting the free trial to Sleep Cycle Premium app. It will inform you that if you don't cancel within the 30 day period then you'll be charged the annual premium of $242.99. There is a link below this to go to for canceling.


It's a phishing expidition: the annual charge is incorrect, February is spelled "february" and the "This message is from a trusted source" is photoshopped in. Also, there is no active link to Apple Support, though it looks like there is.

Thanks for heads-up! Those are a couple of give aways, other are:

Apple will always address you by your real name, never by your email address or Dear Customer.

The sent-from address should be @apple.com or @itunes.com

Apple does not send attachments.
