New Phishing Scam Uses Apple Graphics

There is another Phishing Scam striking users this holiday season.  The latest scam poses as an official Apple email, complete with the official Apple looking email address and graphics.   A couple things to note about the scam is that the page you are taken to is not an Apple page, so be sure to check the URL of the page if you click on a link in an email from any company or bank.

This particular scam is really difficult to detect due to the trouble the scammers have gone through to make the pages look like it could be the real mccoy.   If you get an email supposedly from Apple, the best policy is to go to your browser and log in from Apple’s official website at http://www.apple.com.

If you find nothing amiss with your account then the email is likely a phishing scam. (Thanks to iPodNN for bringing this one to light.)
