typical phishing email

If you click on the link and sign in, you will be giving away your apple ID and password to a bunch of really bad people

So Dont

I'd never click anything that I knew I hadn't subscribed to and would have gone direct into my Apple account to check.

Sometimes the words that are in the email link are suspicious enough for alarm bells to ring.

The conflicting date format and currency is a first warning bell, if nothing else. Sloppy work.

Beware of Nigerian princes as well.

Lot of bad people out there.


Just don't ever click through links on emails. Better to google or go to official site through your web browser.

Beware of Nigerian princes as well.

Somewhere in Africa, there's a Prince doing an impression of Smaug, surrounded by millions of gold coins, wondering why he can't give it away....😖

I get these every now and then. If you click on the senders name it'll show you their email address which is normally enough to know it's not real.

Occasionally if I'm bored I'll follow their link and put some naughty words in the username and password fields.

I always hover my mouse over their reply link as it shows up their address, and strangley enough it never matches who the eamil is supposed to be from

If in any doubt, never click a link and phone to company involved. Simple rule i tell my dad.
