"We've disabled your Apple ID"

I received an email from apple stating " We've disabled your Apple ID" along with a link to update my payment information. I do not trust this since my payment info is current. Can you please confirm that is info was sent from Apple?

Apple will never send an email with that information. It is without a doubt a Phishing attempt.


Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support provides identification/reporting tips.

Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address.  The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information such as Social Security numbers.


The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.
