question of spam iMessage

I created an email unique iCloud for my new iPhone SE. I've never used this email address anywhere except iTunes and the App Store installation. I use Apple Mail on my iPhone to retrieve the email for the account and never get any email to this account because I don't use it actively with the exception of the registration of Apple.

I put it in place in iMessage and my phone number. I have never sent or received an iMessage using only my phone number ID.

How is it possible to get Ray Ban sunglasses spam to my iMessages in these circumstances?  I have long been reluctant to get into the Apple ecosystem, but was convinced to do so by a friend. I had a Samsung before that and never once had SMS spam. Now I'm with Apple almost 3 weeks and I'm iMessage spam that appears to come through my Apple ID associated email.

I am a very private person and feel somehow I had my privacy violated and worries me also pay Apple which I've also put in place related to my new Apple ID.

I see a lot of complaints on the internet about spam iMessage. Given that I've been things carefully implemented and have used this email with Apple and it of their iCloud, can someone explain to me what's happened and if I had my information compromised?

Thank you

Messages of spam of all kinds are sent to hundreds of thousands of all the days of phones. Spammers don't care even if it is a valid number. Messages eventually went to a hundred random numbers at a time. Your number just happened to be one of these random numbers. Just delete the message and never interact with these spam messages.

  • question about SPAM

    Hi all. This question is a bit off topic...

    but, I'm sure you get the spam where it looks like a notice of default from MAILER-DAEMON and those where the e-mail address uses the same domain as your. I have always just them written off as spam, but now I'm wondering if I should be worried that spammers use my formmail to distribute spam with our attached domain name.

    I guess I want to know if someone here knows something about this kind of spam, and if it's something I'd be worried, or are they just more tricks spammers use to get people to open their emails.

    Thank you!

  • Question of symbol IMessage

    What does this symbol mean

    I don't have an iPhone, but it seems a bit like the "international symbol" for "contact".

    It probably means that the call came from where he went to one of your contacts?

    OR

    An options to ADD to your Contacts

    Why not enter and see?

  • Notification regulations 'spam' iMessage

    Hello, I have a few friends who have this habit extremely annoying to send 10 messages back to back rather than write a large message, I have sometimes 10 + messages from them and that they are half sentences. I asked one of my friends to stop this and she was instantly angry. So, rather than start an argument with other friends, I was wondering if there is an option that only the first message sends a notification if there is less than 5 minutes between messages from the same person.

    y at - it such an option? or y at - it another way to deal with this problem?

    in my case, it's sometimes worse still, I have 3 2 macs and iOS devices that all receive a notification and I want to be notified but not 10 times by the same person within 3 minutes

    No, there is no option.  Once a sender press 'Send' discreet message is processed and sent to the recipients. And each iDevice recipients records each as a separate message.  The system is not set up to monitor the address from a specific sender for any period of time or to make decisions to keep or could not deliver a message.

  • You want to remove iMessage conversation - need space

    I need to free up space on my 16 GB 5 s (ios 9.3.2) and there are more than 200 MB in my Messages folder.  This is due to particular iMessage conversations that I have not deleted because I need to keep.  I deleted all messages without importance and removed most of the media associated with the particular iMessage conversation, but still there is a lot of space.

    I save regularly via iTunes to Mac, import photos on the same mac and then delete media photos for free space.  The iCloud back up also updates daily (not sure if this backup imessages however).

    My question is this: iMessages are saved?   If I delete this conversation on my phone right?  I'll never be able to access it again?  If I restored the phone that they would return.   And finally, if I do a backup without these messages on the phone are they then gone also?

    I have to just print screen or copy/paste relevant messages (Notes or similar) and then delete?

    Appreciate advice.

    Thank you.

    The messages are saved.

    If you delete a message, then make a backup then the message went away.

  • There is a real chance to recover a stolen IPhone 6?

    Hello world!

    This is my first question here. All first please don't excuse my writing, I m of the Germany and so I m no native English speaker.

    A couple of weeks, someone stole the 6s nine of my wife.

    She tried to follow a few moments later, but the phone was already off.

    Since then, the phone was not online more. It has been marked as lost or stolen and the police were informed.

    The day before yesterday that I got 2 fake SMS messages. They looked on first sight like messages from Apple.

    The text is so similar to Apple: iPhone has been located to... Please login to iCloud with your credentials.

    There was also a web link in the two messages:

    www.apple.com.Ir1.at/?r=9b3b9 & S2

    Because of this strange link and bad German grammar, I know that this may not be a site of Apple.

    Checked with a PC via the VPN tunnel, but I typed the link just to the ".at".

    The site looked exactly like an Apple site and all links open the true Apple of the Romania site.

    I did not sign in and in the meantime, the site is unavailable. Maybe Apple is involved because I noticed them about the phishing attack.

    My question is:

    Someone knows my cell phone number and the name of my wives ICloud ID. How is that possible?

    The police are not interested to know whence came the messages of theses.

    Today, I reset my own 6plus, just to check if it is possible to use it when it was stolen. Fortunately, it is not.

    Is it possible to get it back? No person shall use t, so there is no need for them.

    You are right does not connect to this site.

    These links may be useful:

    Apple product lost or stolen.

    The text you received was a phishing scam:

    Avoid Phishing scams.

    You can report it to Apple (if it was an iMessage), or your carrier (if it was an SMS):

    Dealing with spam, iMessage, SMS or phone calls.

    (Note that I am not affiliated with this site, and some pages contain ads).

    As to how they knew that the Apple ID, they try to disable find my iPhone. When they go to the iCloud menu in the settings, the Apple ID is listed there. They sent you this message to try to get your password so it could disable find my iPhone lock Activation.

    Wow... I can't believe that the police are not interested to help you find the source of the messages. If we tell them that the phone number, it should be very easy for them to track its origin.

  • iMessage by iPhone and iPad question

    Hello world

    So I have a Plus 6 iPhone and iPad Pro.

    I want to keep my WE imessages - on both devices, but under the same Apple ID, it even works this way?

    My question is, I'm not all alone messages that I receive on my iphone sent to my iPad while I'm SMS on my iPhone right next to her, because my iPad is connected to the wifi of my work, so I prefer just the text out of my phone for this reason. Or should I cut constantly 'iMessage - imessages can be sent between iphone, ipad and ipod touch' constantly that turns off my imessages completely (on the ipad) so I have to sign permanently. Is there a way to get around this? I tried to play with the settings of iMessage and couldn't really find much. My phone is configured to receive messages through my icloud email and my phone number and my ipad is set to receive the imessages via email to icloud only. Maybe I should switch to a new email for the iPad? Don't know what to do! lol I hope that I can continue to use the same Apple ID icloud email address.

    So, basically, I want to keep my imessages with the same Apple ID on BOTH devices, but when I text my fiance, I want his messages to go directly to my iphone (phone number), but since we're both on iPhones through iMessage, which is what I prefer. But the problem is that it's also get sent to the iPad when it's connected to my work Wifi... maybe I need to change my e-mail address of imessage for the iPad to do not receive them unless I want to? Sorry, it's probably super confusing omg.

    I hope I did well enough common sense, otherwise I'll try to explain better!

    Thanks for your useful replies

    What I do bothers me not do is delete the contact in iMessages then if I need to talk to them I just add and all messages have disappeared.

    (If this isn't what you mean then I have no idea what say you)

  • questions about iOS 10 SMS and iMessage notification

    Hi all

    Having some problems with the SMS and iMessage notification since the upgrade to iOS 10. The problem is that sometimes there is no noise or vibration or anything like that when I get a message. I will just have to pick up the phone and there is a banner on the lock screen. And until someone asks, it isn't that I was away from the phone, or I didn't hear it go off... there was just no notification. It's as if the phone was in DND (which it was not).

    The other thing is, I NEVER receive a notification when I am sent an iMessage from a sender that is the only email address (like an iPad wifi only). In this situation, my phone never plays a sound never vibrates... you open the lock screen, but there's a new banner of message sitting there... as I said before - just as the phone is in DND... which is not.

    This problem happens on mine and my wife's phone. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is an update. I think I can find a solution to the problem. I used to have my "send and receive" in the messages app implemented with my phone number and checked e-mail address. I have deselected the e-mail address and have now received a notifcation for every message I've received so far. The sample size is a bit small at the moment but before this change, it is 50-50 at best.

  • IMessage Question...

    I'm not very familiar with Apple devices and I was wondering that could possibly say when you are able to send someone a message through Imessage using their email address, but not their phone number any longer? I was the e-mail of the person quite a long time and now all of a sudden today when I went to type in their phone number it tells me it's is no longer registered in Imessage.

    If you have an Apple ID when you set up your iPod touch, the Apple can be used with iMessage ID. In case you don't know, an identifier Apple is your email address and password. I think you are trying to send a message to Apple that person ID am I right?

  • Question related to the spam/hoax calls

    I frequently receive phone calls from an Asian voice claiming to be Microsoft support widows. He claims to have detected the virus and all kinds of horrible things on my computer. It will ask then as I turn my computer on and wait until the home screen is visible. It then asks me to press some buttons, which, out of suspicion, I refuse to do. I'm wrong.

    Yes, you are right.

    It was a scam and with all the names and phone numbers, one who has
    become very frequent lately. See

    In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
    If you leave them in your computer, who knows what they were doing or where
    What confidential information they stole.

    So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
    immediately:

    1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.

    2. after reinstallation of Windows, change all your passwords.
    especially the banks or other
