    Given that you have provided very little information, I think it's a scam. Apple does not text you privacy.

    Displaying a copy of the text message would be useful.

  • email received asking my account information, is this true?

    I received an email from the windows live team.

    Hello. I recenly received an email indicating that within 2 weeks my account on hotmail will be banned unless I have click on answer, and enter my account information... I didn't think it was safe to send my password through an email, so I thought I'd ask first... The email said from the windows team live and because of the greater empowerment they need to know which emails are used and which are not. Could someone help me understand if it is a scam or if it is an email direct windows genuine?

    Emails requesting usernames, passwords and your personal information are phishing scams. Please see:

  • How can I fix iPad2 message, impossible to check Hotmail account information?

    Bought a new iPad2 with wi - fi access.  I'm at home on my wi - fi using iPad.  Try to add my Hotmail account to the iPad, so I can retrieve my e-mail messages.  When I try to add the e-mail account Hotmail to the iPad, I select Windows Live Hotmail on the iPad.  Then I go my e-mail address Hotmail and Hotmail password in the iPad.  The iPad then said audit.  Then, a box pops up saying "account Hotmail, impossible to verify account information.  I spent an hour on the phone with the support of the iPad, and they tried everything they could to nothing does not.  iPad support said that I would need to contact Hotmail support.  I learned that Hotmail doesn't have a support phone number you can call, a search box that was of no use to me.  I am able to log in to my Hotmail email account without problem on my regular computer.  I could program my wife Comcast.net email in iPad without problem and bring up his email on the iPad.  I can't get past the "can't check Hotmail Account Information" message on the iPad.  Frustrated, want to be able to retrieve my Hotmail e-mail messages from my iPad, please help!  Thank you, Neil

  • Receive an email asking me to confirm my bank details. Is it a scam?

    Unrecognized renewal - computer problems!

    I got an email stating that I need to confirm my bank details I have to renew my account at the end of August.  When I followed the instructions, I tells me that none of my computers is known, but I tried to renew the same I used successfully last year - it is a hacker or was it really a true application of microsoft?  I use the same email address, I've used for years and have never had this problem before - what's going on please?  Needless to say, I will not give my bank details current in everything that I do not trust!

    You are quite right to be wary of all the emails asking for personal information - including bank details. My advice is to ignore all the links and contact information on the email and call rather the company that manages the 'account' independently using well known coordinates.

    Never provide details of credit card or bank account by email - this isn't sure. That's why companies employ Web pages secure (locks in the address bar http) for the web browsers to use such information.
