When You Click On An Apple iTunes Phishing Email, You Can Expect Everyone In Your Sent Mail Folder To Get This Email!

When you click on a link in a “Phishing” email, the people behind the hoax, will use the information you provide them against you and the people in your address book or “Sent” email folder. This type of scam is common, so DON’T click on links in emails that are used to alarm you to take action now!
The goal is to get to act without thinking under the guise of your account being suspended, to verify a large purchase that you know you did not make, or some other type of fraud verification.
If you are worried, you can always just pull up the website in question on your own in Safari or Chrome and check to see if if there is a problem. The site you are visiting, will often have a note saying there is a scam going around and if you received an email about verifying your account it is valid and to see a link they have posted about that very issue, or it’s a scam and lots of folks are getting the same email, and to please ignore it.
