Phishing email

I received an email from Apple ‍ <app.recibofucaturasugu24145.737923238235522@sites-secure05.com>

stating that something is being charged to my Apple ID. I believe this is a phishing email. Can anyone confirm?

  • Apple does not include document, or PDF files to download.
  • Apple would not refer to you as Dear Customer, Dear Client, or anything other than the name on file for your account.
  • Apple would not have such horrible spelling or grammar. 
  • Apple would not send a message to “Undisclosed Recipients”. 


It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.

Look at the Domain:

Yes it is a phishing scam. Look at the domain. There is nothing "apple" about it, so-to-say: @sites-secure05.com


So, yes that is confirmed.


Forward to it: reportphishing@apple.com
