I have NO idea what Smule Magic is. Looked it up and I would never purchase a singing app. Checking my bank account.

I'm a Samsung user. Ignore, delete this purchase email with Adobe receipt? I don't have an Apple account.
Thoughts?

I got this one "Thanks ! Your Purchase of "Pathfinder Adventures" has been Paid on Tuesday, January 21, 2020 !

"Hello. I have gotten a few of these emails. I didn't know what to do until I searched for it and clicked on the link. I will also be contacting Apple about this. I don't have an Apple account with them.

Received email on 7-10-19. I never ordered this game.

Just received a confirmation of an apple purchase for "Asphalt Extreme". A game when I don't play any games, so it's a fake.

Looks like an itune purchase for 39.99
Did not order

Just received email showing I owed $54.30 for In-App Purchase. Looked legit but instructed to click on "Payment Resolution" link if I did not authorize the purchase. I deleted the email without clicking on anything.

We just received an email saying we'd purchased an Ipad game for $59. All looked legit, until when clicking on the sign-in to Apple through the email, it asked for all our personal info plus credit card number and phone number, to cancel the order.

But I hadn't said anything about cancelling the order. Then I couldn't click out of that screen, so just deleted the whole email, assuming it was a scam. Scary!

Here is another scam:

FYI: Unfortunately I opened the email, then click on the attachment, on my iPhone. Immediately, but not soon enough I think, I deleted the email out of the delete file and turned off my phone. Also received the same email on my main computer, there I immediately deleted the email and then deleted it out of the delete file. Hopefully did not get a virus on my iPhone from investigating the email. Yikes!!

Lookout for this e-mail scram: I don't even have an Apple or icloud acct. HA!!

I Keep on getting these kind of emails, it starts last September 6 when I receive the first email.

it says that I bought something from Apple App Store and all of purchase cost $99.99.

I already click the cancel button but it put me to unknown site.
I don't put anything on it.

am I already scammed? :(

No, only if you enter your username, password and personal information.

Sep. 25 2018, I received an Email from AppStore about a purchase made by Rhonda Lanyon.
I never made this purchase.
What do I have to do to cancel this purchase?

It is a scam. I got the same email and actually called Rhonda Lanyon. Her voice mail said please don't leave a message regarding Apple purchase as it is a scam.

Do not cancel because there is nothing to cancel. Hover over the email address and you will see that it is NOT from Apple and it is part of a phishing/scam. DELETE.

The email is a fake.

I keep getting these also!

APPLE CONFIRMATION ID: appleaszxx213.te21tytnz-com-buying-appstoreeid-7883.com


I think this is not a legitimate Apple website or email address. When I copied the email address and searched for it, it doesn't go the Apple website. This is a fraud I believe but please help me decipher this.

The email has an attached receipt dated Aug. 31, 2018 which shows that I purchased iCloud 800 GB Storage Plan for $91.99 and I didn't purchase any and I am not using iPad anymore or any iPhone.

It is a scam, just ignore it.

Received email:

"Thanking you for your order. Order nbr: K24692874. $100.00 app store & iTunes Gift Card -$100.

I pressed the report transactions space on email. Next up popped a message from Window Defender Smart Screen with the message: This website has been reported as unsafe. We recommend that you do not continue to this website. Phishing Threat

I received a mail with a word document attached in which they said I purchase (from another computer) FIFA points. Should I open it? Here below is the mail who send me this:
app-fockerz.cintaditolakdukun bertindak22048-app-storepaymentorder.com

For me looks suspicious.

The email address is a fake, so do not open the attachment because it may be malicious.

I stupidly clicked on the link but did not go any further. I did not give any details or information. Have I inadvertently allowed hackers access? What can I expect?

No, you are OK as long as you didn't submit your information or attempt to sign into the page that you were taken to.

Is this a scam, or is something else goind on?

It is a scam.

I just received a notice from 191.154.81.22 reporting suspicious activity on my apple account. The notice said that I have 24 hours to respond before cancellation of the sale would be void. Did you send me this notice?

It seems to be a phishing scam similar to the ones and a lot of people have been receiving.

To verify, sign into your iTunes account and check for the alleged purchase. If there is none, then the email is a phishing scam.

just got the email scam for Mobile Legends however I don't have an apple account so how would I ever have purchasesd this plus does this mean they have my credit card info or they are hoping I will respond with that info.

The cyber criminals have a list of email addresses that they have stolen. They send their scams to all the email addresses on the list because they do not know who is an Apple customer and who is not.

They do this knowing some of the recipients maybe Apple customers who will anxiously click the link, which will take them to a phishing website.

What do I do since I clicked on the link in the phishing email...I didn't type in any of my personal info, but I did click on the link.

Another example...didn’t even spell check...

This was sent to me along with an attachment to log in Apple website, though I did not log in because I’m a very observant person.
