Phishing scam! iPhone users receive suspicious messages
According to the New York Times, potential scam victims receive an email from “Apple iMessages” -- saying that their username and password had been used to gain access to another iPhone.
But if you click the link, you’ll be taken to a page that will ask for your Apple ID and password. Big mistake.
The scammers want your Apple ID and password because they know that most people link their account to credit cards for iTunes or App Store purchases, which is why you should never share this information.
So if you see a suspicious link in an email or text message you weren't expecting, ignore it and contact Apple directly.
According to a statement on its official website, Apple will never ask you for your password, security questions, verification codes or recovery key.
