Received an email from secure@apple.com
The email stated that my apple ID has been used to make illegal purchases (Fraud).
Statement New Summary Order Report.
The email wants me to check a PDF to verify my account.
Is this legitimate?
Thanks for your help!
iPad, iOS 10
No. Its a scam or phishing attempt.
Apple will never send you an attachment of any kind in reference to a purchase, and will never ask you to verify your account inside a PDF.
