Is this spam? Invoice from apple?

If you want to check your account, open a browser and login from there, but don't click on a link in an email.

They try all sorts of fake transactions (ebay, Apple, Amazon, etc.) which are just a ploy to get you to click on the link and enter your details.

Its fake, I get them all the time. Depending on if you check your emails on a desktop, just hover over one of the links and it should tell you somewhere to whom it is pointing to.

I forwarded the email to Apple support who confirmed it is spam.

I found that I do have an apple account. It has a credit card registered to it that expired in June, so hopefully I am safe. However, I can't work out how to view my recent order history. I am just using the web address here:

Hi

Not that it matters, but most of what follows is true...

When you have a credit card, you have a credit card account, on that account a card is issued.

Cancelling the card / expiry of the card does not close the overarching account, and charges can still be levied / accumulated.

So please proceed with caution, checking every step of the way.

I also received this email today. Never purchased this. Just deleted it

Hi guys, I need some advice. I actually clicked on the link of the email and entered my apple ID email and password (I also used this password for other accounts).
Only later when I got home did I realise it is a scam. What do I risk?

I have changed my Apple ID password. Is there anything else I should do? Do they have any way now of stealing my bank details?

Thanks

Highly recommend you change your passwords on anything that shared that one then.
Obviously you shouldn't use the same password on multiple accounts but now it's in hindsight and lots of people make that mistake.
Just make sure you can keep track of them either just with your mind or some form of password storage.

I can't really give advice on the bank stuff but I don't think they can steal your bank details just from your Itunes account, as it's behind encryption and what not, but I COULD be wrong. They could possibly use it on your Apple account though. Keep an eye on your bank, you should be fine if you didn't give your card details but I'm not an expert. (Can someone correct me/give me info please)

But yeah, get to changing those passwords ASAP!
