Scam

I received an email that said it was from Apple Store. It said my Apple ID was used to make a purchase from another phone. It had an invoice attached to dispute it. It looks like a scam. I’m not sure if this is how Apple notifies for something like this. What should I do?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

  • 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.
