Beware of "Security Alert for your Linked Profile" Scam

Posted: Oct 24, 2018 at 10:04 AM by an anonymous user from or near: León, Guanajuato, Mexico

I have been receiving several email for the past weeks. I have not open them since they arrive in my Junk-email folder and they look suspiscious since these warn me of a security alert in an account that I do not have linked to Google.

The message comes from: "Support", and the heading reads: "(The name shown in my email account) Security alert for your profile #(an a number here)".

Then in the main scroll I can read: "Your account is listed as te recovery email (my email account here, which is the same in which I'm getting this email). Don't recognize..." and don't know what else since I have not oppened any of this emails.

It's been many of them, daily.

They knew that my email address is listed as a recovery email for another account, and that right there made me almost fall for it. I'm glad I looked at all of the fine print at the bottom of the phony alert and noticed how odd much of it was.

I've received numerous emails in this same vein. They come from "Account Support", "Administrator", "Apple Support", etc. and they all claim that my mac.com account is involved.

At the bottom, it claims to come from .mac and has the SAME 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA address.

I don't have a hotmail, gmail or sbcglobal email. Putting the cursor above the sender shows these are coming from Germany, Italy, France, the UK, etc. This rash of emails started about a month ago.
