Email stating purchase was made on unknown device

I got an email stating Pokémon go was purchased for 29.99 on an unknown device. Is this the case or just a fishing scam

Yes, it is Most likely a phishing attempt. See below for steps to identify bogus emails.


  • 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.
