It suggests that, to continue, you need to verify your account by clicking an &#8216;Unlock Apple ID&#8217; link.<\/p>\n<p>However, the \u00a0email is not from Apple and you don&#8217;t need to click an \u00a0unlock link to as claimed. In fact, the email is a <a title=\"Phishing &amp; Other Suspicious Emails\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/legal\/more-resources\/phishing\/\">phishing scam<\/a> designed to steal your Apple ID, your credit card numbers, and other personal information.<\/p>\n<p>If you click the &#8216;unlock&#8217; link, you will be taken to a fraudulent webpage that closely mirrors the appearance of Apple&#8217;s genuine Apple ID login page. If you login on the fake page, you will be taken to a second fake page that asks you to input your credit card numbers, your name and address details, and other personally identifying information. After supplying the requested \u00a0information, you may receive a final message stating that you have successfully unlocked your account.<\/p>\n<p>But, alas, all if the information you supplied on the fraudulent website can be harvested by cybercriminals and \u00a0used to hijack your Apple account and commit credit card fraud and identity theft.<\/p>\n<p>Apple phishing <a title=\"Apple 'Your Order Has Been Placed' Phishing Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/apple-your-order-has-been-placed-phishing-scam\/\">scams like this one<\/a> continue to be very common. Be wary of any message that claims that there is a problem with your account or an account update \u00a0is required and you must therefore click a link or open an attached file.
