A NEW "PHISHING" ADVENTURE......

At least for me.  Received an e-mail with an official-looking iCloud image on it telling me that my iCloud capacity had been used up.  It offered me a deal to sign up for increased capacity.  I knew that I still had GBs available.  I didn't open it or click on the link that was included and forwarded it to Apple

 

Be aware.

Re: A NEW "PHISHING" ADVENTURE......

this is not new and i have received these emails before.

they were easy for me to spot because i do not own "i" anything.

samsungs for me. LOL

 

most of these phishing emails/texts are either becoming easier to spot or i am becoming smarter at spotting them quickly.

I block and report so many, but it looks my blocked messages are being sent to deleted on my phone.  Up to 23 this week.  They don't come thru and bother me, but it disquieting.

My blocked addresses are also sent to my trash folder.

I had that one months ago.

 

Never click on a link you don't know.

Not a new one. Circulates now and again.
