At it again.

Received this Message today. Did a search on the phone number and it didn't show anything. I login into my iCloud/Apple account and it didn't show any charges. PS: I don't use Apple Pay.

I don't see the attachment... but sounds like plain vanilla Phishing to me.

Delete the message & go on with your day.

Just checked on the "View attachment" in the original post. It was in the post when I posted it and for a few hours. Don't know why it's not working. I don't have a copy of the Message / screen shot as I deleted it. Anyone have any ideas? is it MAC Forum or someone else?

Plain-Jane phishing.

Poor spelling, inconsistent capitalisation, awful wording, broken english... That scammer sure didn't try very hard

+63 is a country code for Philippines. If messages arrive from numbers with "unexpected" country code then that should be the first cause for suspicion...
