Email scam?

It is indeed a scam.

• Apple does not send such messages. 
• Apple would not warn of a pending account issue, giving you a deadline to fix the issue. 
• 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.

If you provided your Apple ID and password at the bogus site, change your password immediately.

That sounds like a scam email. Has your credit card been charged? Are you sure the message is legitimate? Does it contain a link for you to sign in somewhere? It may be a scam. Check your purchases history.

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 by email such as Social Security numbers, your Mother’s maiden name or full credit card 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.

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. Or control - click on the email and select Forward as attachment. Make sure you send it as an attachment to a new email. If you just forward it, it will probably be rejected. You won’t receive a response.

I also have a question. I received an email from UPDATE APPLE LAST RE: [Special Inspector Notice] [Apple reminder ] - Receipts: Your order require confirmation........ whereas I did not Make ang order or purchase from Apple.

Do I need to inform apple store that I did not Make an purchase.
