Just got an email saying account locked. It looks very authentic with the standard Apple format but asks me to click on a link to my messages and the sender is registered -dytelworld.com. Does not sound like Apple to me.

Also it says at the bottom: "any problem just reply to this email we will be happy to help." However sender's email address is:
noreply-login-onlinesignonwebapplicationdam1nlijrst-dytelworld.com. So they may be happy to help but apparently don't want a reply!

I got this mail a few minutes ago : "your account has been locked apple". I clicked on link VERIFY NOW, bat I didnt sign in my id and pass, cos I thought its phishing. Is there be any problem cos of this click ? After that I have read this article, so didnt sign in my datas...

Just had an email stating "Your Apple ID Has Been Locked"

In the detail it states "Unable to check your account information. As a result you account has been temporarily suspended. Verify your account and sign in" etc.

When I pressed the Verification My Account button, I got a Deceptive Website Warning.

I then sent the email to Trash and emptied Trash.

I checked the incoming email address before I deleted the email and it was an extremely long random looking address, and to me thats the best check as it sure was not Apple.

Recommendation... any incoming warning from APPLE SUPPORT, check the email address and if it looks like some long winded randomly generated sequence of numbers and letters, delete the email out of your system.

Hope this helps.
