Supposedly, you must supply the information so that your account will pass Apple&#8217;s advanced security policies. The email includes a &#8216;Continue&#8217; link that you can click to begin the process.<\/p>\n<p>However, the email is certainly not from Apple, and the \u00a0claim that you must re-enter your information is untrue. Instead, the email is a <a title=\"Phishing Scams\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/phisher-scams.html\">phishing scam<\/a> designed to steal your personal and financial information.<\/p>\n<p>If you click the link in the scam email, you will be taken to a fraudulent webpage \u00a0that has been designed to closely emulate the genuine Apple website. Once on the fake site, you will be asked to login with your Apple ID. After logging in, you will be taken to a fake form that asks you to &#8216;re-enter&#8217; your credit card numbers, name and contact details, and other identifying information.<\/p>\n<p>After you complete the form, you will be automatically redirected back to the real \u00a0Apple website and may believe that you \u00a0have now successfully &#8216;passed&#8217; the company&#8217;s security requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, however, the criminals who sent out the scam email can collect all of the information you supplied and use it to hijack your Apple account and commit credit card fraud and identity theft.<\/p>\n<p>Apple phishing scams are <a title=\"Apple 'Your Order Has Been Placed' Phishing Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/apple-your-order-has-been-placed-phishing-scam\/\">very common<\/a>.  \u00a0Be wary of any email that claims that you must click a link or open an attachment to update account details or deal with a supposed account problem. It is always best to login to your Apple account &#8211; or any other online account &#8211; by entering the \u00a0address into your browser&#8217;s address bar or via an official app.<\/p>\n<p>The Apple website includes \u00a0information about <a title=\"Apple 'Your Order Has Been Placed' Phishing Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/apple-your-order-has-been-placed-phishing-scam\/\">recognising and reporting phishing scams<\/a> like this one.<\/p>\n<p>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: June 29, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: June 29, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
