A fraudulent email from a ‘rotten Apple’






















I just received the obviously phony phishing email shown above (but did not bite by clicking the Unlock Account box):

“Apple ID Locked
Your Apple ID has been locked for security reasons, October 28, 2019 PDT. To unlock it you must verify your identity.
You cannot access your account and any Apple Services, Before completing verification, and you have to completing verification before 12 hours or your account will be permanently Locked.”

First, the address was not from Apple. Second, is the unneeded capitalization of Before and Locked in the last sentence. Third is the bad grammar ‘to completing verification’ - an obvious giveaway.
