You get a very official looking and well done email ostensibly from Apple that your Spotify (or Netflix or … whatever) trial subscription is over and the annual subscription will automatically be charged to your Apple account unless you unsubscribe within a day or two. Conveniently a link to your Apple Account manager is provided in the email, just enter your Apple ID and Password.

My wife was threatened with an $85 charge for Netflix and a friend with $150 for Spotify. Of course neither was valid. All the Phishing crew wants is your Apple ID and Password. Both have been reported to Apple, but in the meantime, ''BE CAREFUL OUT THERE"


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
