Alarming (Might be) Phishing Message Hi friends, I hope you can help me. Can you tell me if this message from Apple, supposedly, is legit, especially the link? Please note the mispelled word "support".

Is this legitimate? We are getting a notice saying Apple platform security. Your computer has alerted us that it has been infected with a Trojan porn-ware virus. We must contact us immediately at 1-888-312-1384 is it legitimate or a phishing notice. It is on only one of my Apple products that synced.

Possible phishing Email from Apple from So. Carolina message recorded there has been a phishing "deficit" on my Apple ID. Tried to call Apple spt and got a recorded sale pitch trying to get me to buy a emergency home notification device. Would not stop talking. Had to restart to end it. How do I get a person for help?
