A genuine message from Apple will always address you by your name or the name they know you by … and come from an address that ends @apple.com.


Never respond to a mail that does not meet both of the conditions above or indeed, that you feel suspicious about.


Send a copy of the email (as an attachment) to Apple at …. Reportphishing@apple.com


It was not Apple. I hope you did not give any details.
