Real email or scam?

I received an email that appears to come from an Apple, sprouts manage your Apple account claiming that several unsuccessful attempts had been made using my Apple ID and asking me to you connect using the link provided to verify/update my account information.  I'm sure that it is a phishing scam, but it's a new one on me sent under the guise of an email newsletter.  I think that he was sent from the Australia: they give an address: Apple, Commodore 5 TCR, Cleveland, QLD ID to THE 4163.  Anyone who has met by this type of email?  Is it a scam?

Scam. See these resources:

Identify the fraudulent email 'phishing '.

Identification of legitimate emails from the iTunes Store

Phishing and other suspicious emails

The last of them includes information about the transmission of the original message with headers to Apple to [email protected] which, it was hoped, they could use to take down fraudulent Web sites.

As a point of principle never use a link in an e-mail to access a Web site where you connect. Use existing bookmarks or the address bar in your browser.

  • Is the reward Center of Mozilla, offering VIP customers the chance to win an iPad and asking my home, real or a scam?

    On my Google Nexus 5, when I access the app ASTRO file manager, I am daily receiving a message advertising the "Mozilla reward Center", offering VIP customers the chance to win an iPad and calling my home for shipping I should win.

    It seems like a scam.

    I saved a pdf of the screen, if anyone wants to see it.

    If anyone knows how to block ads in ASTRO file manager, I would appreciate the help, but I suspect that's not possible.

    Hello
    This very probably (actually certainly) is a scam. Mozilla would never ask you for your place of home - and not by an ad. Please do not click on the link or provide your personal data.

    Thank you for reporting this issue.
