Hey Guys,
I know people have been good about mentioning the rash of scam/phishing emails as of late.
I just received one from "Apple"
yesterday to the email account I have registered with iTunes.
Sadly as much as people get warned about these people fall for them. Here are a few tell tales.
Anyhow....as mentioned other have mentioned some suspect Microsoft ones so I thought I would mention this one.

- Email was from the following....(Secure-iOS (Customers .care@apple-s.ervices.info) Everything looks wrong with that email address. (and please don't click on it! )
- All of the disclaimers at the bottom of the email are in French and cite an office address in Luxembourg.....seems fishy to me including the fact there was a hotlink to google maps of the exact location of the office. I did a google street view and it was an apartment building.
- Not on my PC in case of Malware.....but on my iPad I clicked on the link just to see. It asked for my iTunes account number and the 3 digit security code on my credit card.
Anyhow....as mentioned other have mentioned some suspect Microsoft ones so I thought I would mention this one.
