The email lists some information for the supposed order including the product name, order total and receipt date. It also advises that, if you did not authorise the listed purchase, you should \u00a0click a &#8216;Cancel this Purchase&#8217; link to fill in a cancellation form.<\/p>\n<p>However, the email is not from Apple and it does not contain valid information about an iTunes purchase.  \u00a0Instead, the email is a phishing scam designed to steal your personal and financial information. The criminals operating this scam campaign hope that you will click the &#8216;cancel&#8217; button in the mistaken belief \u00a0that an unauthorised iTunes transaction has been made via your account.<\/p>\n<p>If you click the link in the hope of cancelling the supposed \u00a0order, you we be taken to a fraudulent website designed to look like the real Apple ID login page.  \u00a0After entering your Apple ID and password, you will be taken to another page on the fake site that contains a bogus cancellation form. The form will ask for your name and contact details, your credit card numbers, and other identifying information, ostensibly so that the order cancellation can be processed and \u00a0the money returned to your account. At \u00a0the end of the process, you may be taken to another page that claims that you have successfully cancelled the order.<\/p>\n<p>However, all of the information you submitted can be collected by criminals and used to hijack your Apple account, as well as commit credit card fraud. Your Apple ID gives access to all of Apple&#8217;s services, so once they have it, \u00a0the criminals can steal information you have stored on iCloud, access and use your email account, and use iTunes and App Store \u00a0to \u00a0make \u00a0fraudulent purchases. They may also collect \u00a0enough information about you to allow them to steal your identity.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Phishing Scams - Anti-Phishing Information\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/phisher-scams.html\">Phishing scams<\/a> like this one <a title=\"'Apple &amp; ICloud ID Cancellation' Phishing Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/apple-icloud-id-cancellation-phishing-scam\/\">regularly target Apple customers<\/a>. Be wary of any email about an order that you never made or that claims that you must update account details to avoid an account suspension or deal with some other account issue. If you receive such an email, do not click any links or open any attachments that it contains.<\/p>\n<p>It is always safest to login to your Apple account by entering the address into your browser&#8217;s \u00a0address bar or via a legitimate Apple app.<\/p>\n<p>The Apple \u00a0website \u00a0<a title=\"Phishing &amp; Other Suspicious Emails\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/legal\/more-resources\/phishing\/\">includes \u00a0information<\/a> about identifying and reporting such phishing \u00a0messages.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: April 11, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: April 11, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
