@sfleetucker @gemswinc thank you!
@sfleetucker @Pippy I have very good BS radar installed in my 🧠
@sfleetucker Mine was an obvious scam. I don't use iCloud beyond what they grab @Pippy
@gemswinc @sfleetucker yea me either, frankly I don’t even know what is in there but I imagine things I don’t anyone else to get their hands on.
@Pippy Which is why I don't use it @sfleetucker
@Pippy I get alerts all the time for things I don't even use. Also get alerts for what I do. Majority is phishing or malware attempts. Don't click the links and don't open any attachments. @gemswinc @sfleetucker
@AnnetteTRemain @Pippy @gemswinc
Yep, I love getting Coinbase scams myself, as I've never touched crypto.
@AnnetteTRemain @gemswinc @sfleetucker yea, I don’t open any links in my emails but I expect these types of emails to be popping up potentially from now on this year. I want to be able to ward against them.
@Pippy I use report as spam option on a lot. @gemswinc @sfleetucker
@Pippy @AnnetteTRemain @gemswinc Here's what a scam looks like. They're tyring to convince me my friend Jeff (who never mails me anything) wants to share photos, but when I pop down the sender, some rando account in an Italian domain.
@sfleetucker @Pippy @AnnetteTRemain Ha! I go through my junk mail for laughs, sometimes
@gemswinc @sfleetucker @AnnetteTRemain I like the ones that say tic when my email is tlc!
@sfleetucker @AnnetteTRemain @gemswinc I can remember the day all we had to do was look up Barbie to get porn!
@sfleetucker @gemswinc thanks!
@gemswinc @Pippy Well,first check the sender email (not the display name). Second, check the URL. If either aren't actually apple, it's a scam,
Even if they look legit, the best way to deal with it is:
1) On your iPhone, go to settings, open the iCloud pane, and check there.
2) In a browser go to http://icloud.com and sign in there.
If it was a legit message from Apple they'll let you know there.
