Fake or real mail

I got a mail that told me that my Apple ID vas locked out of security reasons, because some one tried to log in to my account. The mail came from either this Mail: 1z37g3usb4a@oasdehe.com or this: manager-team277503@apple.com. I was wondering if this mail might be fake and maybe how I can see if the mail from Apple is real?

  • Apple does not send such messages. 
  • Apple does not include document, or PDF files to download.
  • Apple would not refer to you as Dear Customer, Dear Client, or anything other than the name on file for your account.
  • Apple would not have such horrible spelling or grammar. 
  • Apple would not send a message to “Undisclosed Recipients”. 



It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.
