The email includes a &#8216;Click Here&#8217; link that supposedly allows you to view the missed message. The &#8216;From&#8217; field of the email suggests that the email was sent by an entity called &#8216;Apple Rewards&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>But, the email has no connection whatsoever with Apple. Instead, it is a scam designed to trick you into divulging your personal information on decidedly dodgy &#8216;prize offer&#8217; websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>If you do click the \u00a0link, you will be taken to a fraudulent &#8216;Google Rewards&#8217; website that tries to give the impression that it is an official Google entity. The site claims &#8211; falsely &#8211; that, every Tuesday, Google randomly selects 10 Google users to receive a gift courtesy of its sponsor, Apple iPhone. And, to hurry you along, the site warns that you must fill in the survey and claim your prize within 1 minute and 21 seconds or your &#8216;spot&#8217; will be given to somebody else and you will miss out on your reward. A timer \u00a0in bright red counts down your remaining seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>The site first asks you to fill in an utterly pointless survey and then pretends to check your answers and eligibility to receive a reward. No matter what answers you give, you will always be deemed eligible to receive your &#8216;reward&#8217; of an Apple iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you will be instructed to click on one of several iPhone \u00a0&#8216;offer&#8217; links, ostensibly to claim your prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Clicking any of the links \u00a0takes you to a third-party website that offers the chance to win further prizes in exchange for \u00a0providing your name, home address, email address, and phone numbers. But, legal clauses on the site state that, by participating, you are giving permission for the site to share your personal information with \u00a0direct marketing companies who will subsequently inundate you with annoying phone calls, emails, text messages, and surface letters that attempt to sell you a range of products and services you most likely neither want nor need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the scammers \u00a0responsible for the bogus &#8216;missed message from Apple&#8217; spam campaign \u00a0will earn money \u00a0every time people \u00a0supply their personal details on one of the \u00a0&#8216;offer&#8217; websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>And, alas, no matter how many &#8216;offers&#8217; you participate in, you will never receive the promised iPhone gift, which never existed in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>This ruse takes many forms and the bogus emails pretend to be a number of high profile companies, not just Apple.
