Beware EMAil Phishing appears to be from Apple
The following is circulating. If you have an iCloud account, DO NOT CLICK ON THE EMAIL. (You can click on this picture of it, I have neutered this so it can't harm you).
Report this to Apple by forwarding the email to: reportphishing@apple.com |

Thankfully most of the people who do this do not use an email that even looks like it comes from the company they say they are from.

We need to keep reminding people, NEVER EVER click on links in emails from anyone - even if it looks like it is coming from a friend or relative. If you get a link from a friend or relative, ask them if it is real, and/or type it into your web browser, don't click it. I know if sounds like over kill, but you will regret having your bank account emptied... |

Hate thieves and scammers. Wish computers were able to 100% identify and locate scammer computer, send a tracer "pulse" back to it and blow it up. Not nuclear, just big enough to takeout the scammer/thief.

When you invent it will be first on line to buy it.

There are several groups trying to figure out a way to solve the problem. We will probably have three internets soon, this one for "playing around", a "secure" internet for anything financial, and the dark web for people who feel the need to be secretive. |

...and yet there are still millions of people who fall for it, because millions of people don't pay attention to what they're clicking. That's why these scammers are so successful.

It's like some folks have totally forgotten how intrusive and annoying and potentially dangerous "chain letters" used to be, back in the days of actual chain letters. They always ended up scamming people out of money (remember you'd get a dollar back from 10,000 people if everyone followed the chain by forwarding a copy of the letter on, and sending $1 back to the person named on the top of the list?) It was a scam then, it's a scam now. Don't even OPEN forwarded mail from ANYONE, not even your mom, unless you personally requested it. |

That's it. It is that simple. If NO ONE did it, the scammers would not make any money doing it, and would stop. The only reason they do it is people fall for it and they make money. The same is true of the spam phone calls, if no one fell for them, they would stop. |

If that happened, your “Ex” would blow up your computer if you sent her/him a message they didn’t like.
