yesterday, i received a very appropriate email on what appeared to be from apple correctly identifying my software and offering to renew my cloud and replace it with the new icloud at no cost.
The online invoice asked for the usual personal data but requested in addition to my credit card information my social security number in full together with my mothers maiden name.
I suspected Phishing and called the number of the apple store from the top of the invoice and that number was correct and was told that apple never ever asked anyone for a social security number.
Has anyone else been so emailed?
I offer this only as a precaution to the Forum members.
