Apple customers are asked to be aware of fake Apple Order Notification email invoices (see below) from the fake Apple www.appleinfo.com, which claim that they have purchased products or make payments from the iTunes store, and if you did not authorize the purchases or payments they should visit iTunes Payment Cancellation. The fake email invoices are being sent by scammers to frighten and trick the recipients into clicking on the links within them by claiming they need to do so in order to cancel the purchases and get a refund. But, once the recipients click on the link in the fake email invoices, they will be taken to a phishing website that steals personal, financial, and Apple credentials (usernames and passwords).

Therefore, Apple customers who have received email invoices appearing as if they were sent from Apple, should avoid clicking on the links in them. They should instead, sign directly into the iTunes Store on their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV and check their accounts.

And, never respond to email messages that came from an email address at appleinfo.com. This is because appleinfo.com is a fake and fraudulent website created by cybercriminals to trick Apple users into thinking it is legitimate.

Recipients of the email voices claiming that they have ordered a product they did not, and who have clicked on the link in them, should change their Apple password and contact Apple Support for help. And, the best protection against phishing scams is to avoid clicking on links in email messages, social media messages, and text messages to sign into online accounts.

This is the hardest web site I have ever tried to use. I have a fraudulent purchase notice and I do not remember if I clicked inside the Email. I would like to cancel my Apple account and cancel this order. I have received several unauthorized purchase notices and would like to close my account so it will not happen again. If there is something else I should do to protect my credit please notify me asap.

I just received an email of an "Apple Order Notification" for $68.00 that was paid for a June 8, 2018 order! Today is June 7, 2018 and I don't use Apple products.
The last time I used an Apple product was with those small itunes. Apple needs to stop these scammers, shut them down or something... crazy!

Hi,
I just received a scam email almost similar to this mentioning of me buying Apple watch series 2 of the price $68. I thankfully didn't click on the link and forwarded that email to info@onlinethreatalerts.com.
It's really scary as innocent people will click on the link.
Regards,
Reshma
