Be Careful Think Before You Act

If you get a message like this just trash it. Its a scam, its the kind of messages that celebrities click on:

"Deаr Custοmer,

Claims to be from some ios8.com address that you can not reply to.

Heads Up.

Telltale sign is that spam emails start with a generic 'dear customer' whereas a legit email is likely to use your name.

Plus, with the wide proliferation of "phishing" emails and the constant warnings about them, anyone who will still fall for this is just plain not paying attention.

Anyone with any sense can utterly avoid this type of thing. An ounce of common sense beats a pound of passwords and secret questions.

I had to laugh at the big iCloud scare... celebrities go be stupid, and then Apple takes the fall. Yeah, right.

No, a legit email is likely to use your official email address. That's how I knew it was really a Nigerian prince trying to give me his sister and 10 million dollars.

It's still far too common, even with people who should know better. My mom recently got a text from "the bank" about some fraudulent activity. Luckily, she called the bank directly instead of replying to the text and found out it was a scam.

Thanks for the heads up.

Not a celebrity, but I might have fallen for this after a few drinks.

They lost me at "comfirmation".
