[QUOTE="PaulRanger1, post: 1604027, member: 314584"] Dear Sir/Madam, I have today received a attached purported request from “service@apple.com" to validate my Apple ID. The email includes the threat “Failure to complete our validation process will result in a suspension of your Apple ID.” This email looks to be a genuine Apple sourced request. I attach a screen shot of the email I received today, and which I regard as extremely suspicious and the web address the link opens up at. Among details DEMANDED are full name. full address, email address, credit name number, cc security code, mother’s maiden name and more. I entered details until I had reached the credit number request box at which point I decided to contact Apple. I telephoned 1300 321 456 and raised this issue with your Apple support staff member Steven. He advised me to send this email urgently to the above address [url]http://update-now.ulusoyagency.com/smh/ca79b0202248aea868348c867dda552e/au/webapps/mpp/home/?r=L2QvaW5kZXgucGhw[/url] Please acknowledge receipt of this important email and advise possible action Apple may take in this matter. Yours faithfully, Paul Collins. P.S. I had been about to correct several basic grammatical errors in the set of instructions, until I became suspicious. [/QUOTE]
