• The text message you received was a scam.
• Simply block, report and delete the message.
• Never click any links or call phony phone numbers they provide!
• The phony text message will never mention you by name because they don’t know it.

🛑 Apple will never send you a text message‼️⚠️

Important: If you receive a suspicious email or SMS text message that looks like it’s supposed to be from Apple, please email it to [email protected].

Learn how to:

• Recognize and avoid social engineering schemes including phishing messages, phony support calls and other scams.
• Identify legitimate emails from the App Store or iTunes Store.

Good luck! 👋🏼😉

"How to identify and handle potential Apple Account scam texts: I have been getting text - supposedly from Apple Support, telling me that someone has made a charge of over $200 to my Apple account and I need to call them if it's not me. When I call one of the numbers they used, I get Verizon. Isn't this a scam?"
