Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address. The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information such as Social Security numbers.


The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.


Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams



Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store



Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it. You can forward as an attachment by going to Mail/Message/Forward as attachment.

I hope you did not provide any information. The message is a total scam designed to procure personal information from you. You can report it to Apple here: Identify and report phishing communications - Apple Support. The support article has tips to help you spot phishing attempts on your data.


If you did provide your Social Security Number, then contact Social Security and have a new number issued for you. If you provided any other personal information such as credit or debit card number, have them reissued as well.


Best of luck,
