Phishing scam disguised as Apple email Enlarge picture - Phishing scam disguised as Apple email
Yet another phishing scheme has emerged posing as an email from Apple Customer Support that asks for your credentials. Don't fall for it!

An email that looks a lot like those from Apple is doing the rounds bearing a message that asks to refresh your billing information.

Customers are handed a link that says it will take them to Apple’s online store but, in reality, they are taken to a place where the information they type in gets recorded by nefarious people.

It’s not the first such scheme to poke its head out from the millions of scams that are out there, but it’s certainly one of the most well crafted I’ve seen so far.

As reported by Ubergizmo, the best thing you can do when confronted with this email is to ignore it. Evidently, it’s always good to warn others about it as well.
