How to avoid phishing and other scams

While browsing the web, if you see a message that your iPhone, Mac, or other Apple device has a virus, or someone claiming to be from Apple calls and asks for your account name and password, you’re likely the target of a scam. Here are some things you can do to avoid them.

  • Protect your Apple ID. Use two-factor authentication, always keep your contact information secure and up to date, and never share your Apple ID password or verification codes with anyone. Apple never asks for this information to provide support.
  • Learn how to identify legitimate Apple emails about your App Store or iTunes Store purchases.
  • Never use App Store, iTunes, and Apple Store Gift Cards to make other kinds of payments.
  • If you send or receive money with Apple Pay (U.S. only), treat it like any other private transaction.
  • Learn how to keep your Apple devices and data secure.
  • In general, never share personal information like credit card numbers, unless you can verify the recipient is who they claim to be.
  • Don't follow links or open or save attachments in suspicious or unsolicited messages.
  • If you have any doubts about a request or communication, or even if you if you just need to update your information with a company, contact that company directly.
