Apple will never ask you to do \u200bthis, so if an email appears to be from Apple and\u200d requests\u2062 this information, it\u2019s almost certainly a scam. To spot\u2063 a phishing email:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check the email address of the \u2062sender.\u200b It will usually appear\u2062 official, but if it \u2064doesn\u2019t seem right then it\u2019s\u2064 likely not from Apple.<\/li>\n<li>Be wary\u200c of attachments or links. Don\u2019t download \u2063any files that you\u2019re not expecting, and \u2063don\u2019t follow any links.<\/li>\n<li>Check for \u2062grammar or spelling mistakes. Authentic Apple emails are usually well written and contain no major mistakes.<\/li>\n<li>Be suspicious of unbelievable offers. Apple won\u2019t promise free iPhones or\u2064 iPads in return \u200bfor submitting your personal information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Reporting the Email<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you receive a suspicious email, you can report it directly to Apple. This will prevent others from being tricked by the same scam. To report an email from an\u2063 Apple address, \u200bforward the email to\u200b Apple at \u200dreportphishing@apple.com. If the email is from a different address, \u2063forward it\u2063 to spam@uce.gov. Apple investigates all reports of phishing, and will take\u200b the necessary actions\u200d to protect its users.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-spotting-real-apple-emails-from-phishing-scams\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Spotting_%E2%81%A2Real_Apple_Emails_From_Phishing_%E2%80%8CScams\"><\/span>2. Spotting \u2062Real Apple Emails From Phishing \u200cScams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Apple emails are a common target for\u200b scammers, and it is important to be able to identify phishing\u200b emails before it is too late. Here are a\u2064 few tips to help identify\u2063 real Apple emails from phishing scams:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Look out for misspellings and unusual symbols:<\/strong> Phishing emails\u200c are often written with poor grammar and contain typos, so examine the email\u200b carefully before\u2062 clicking any \u2062links within the email.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inspect links closely:<\/strong> A real Apple email won\u2019t contain suspicious looking \u200clinks. If you\u2064 are unsure, hover over the link without clicking it and\u2063 check the address\u2062 in the bottom left corner of your browser. If it doesn\u2019t match the rest of the link, it is most likely a phishing email.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be wary of urgent messages:<\/strong> Scammers often send\u200b urgent messages to their targets with \u2062the aim of getting them \u2062to act quickly. Be wary of emails instructing you to send\u200d your personal information in a hurry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u200c is also\u200d important to know that Apple does\u2062 not ask administrators \u2063or users to provide personal information such as a credit card number, account details, \u2062or passwords. \u200bSo if you\u2064 receive an email asking for any of these \u2064details, it \u200bis almost certainly a \u2064scam.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3-common-warning-signs-of-phishing-apple-emails\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Common_Warning_Signs_%E2%81%A3of_Phishing_Apple_Emails\"><\/span>3. Common Warning Signs \u2063of Phishing Apple Emails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Spelling and Grammar Mistakes<\/b><br \/>\nPhishing emails often feature spelling and grammar mistakes\u200c that native English speakers would not make. Before clicking any links, ensure that the email is not misspelled \u2062and\u200c is correctly\u200c formatted.<\/p>\n<p><b>Suspicious Links and Attachments<\/b><br \/>\nBe cautious of links\u200b that lead to websites that \u2064have nothing to \u2062do with Apple or other websites you\u200d might be expecting. Additionally,\u2064 never open an attachment that appears out \u200cof the blue from Apple or any other unknown source. These links may lead to malicious content or spyware that\u2019s difficult to remove. Other signs \u2062of\u2064 suspicious links include too many\u200d forwards, URLs that don\u2019t match the company\u2019s website \u200dand links to unfamiliar websites.<\/p>\n<p><b>Requests for Personal\u2063 or Financial Information<\/b><br \/>\nNever reply to an email asking for your credit card details or personal information such \u2062as \u200byour driver\u2019s license or passport. These\u2062 emails typically come from someone pretending to be Apple Support or Apple Technical Services, and could be a scam. Legitimate\u200d emails from Apple should \u200cnever include \u2062a request for this kind of information.<\/p>\n<p><b>Questions Related to your Account or Services<\/b><br \/>\nLook out for\u200b emails that reference your Apple account with a question like \u201cIs this still your email\u2064 address?\u201d or \u201cDid\u200c you recently purchase \u2063a service?\u201d. Apple will never ask you\u2063 to verify\u200c account information by clicking on a link in\u200d an email.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4-tips-to-secure-your-apple-email-from-phishing-scams\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Tips_to_Secure_Your_Apple_Email_from_Phishing_Scams\"><\/span>4.
