I almost got hooked by an phishing email from my yahoo mail.
I got a mail at Sep13th like this :
Title : (Statement Account Report):
Statement New Login From Google Chrome on September, ID(908-271-229)
it said that my Apple ID is tempory locked. If I did nothing, my Apple ID will be permently locked after 10 days. I clicked in "Login Apple". It brought me to a new website which looked like Apple Support.(as followed pic)
It asked me to "verfied" myself. It asked about my social security number, my credit card number...... So I got suspious and stopped. I called today to see if this is leglit.
I google the website. and call from this page :
The first number 3707 was disconnected, so I dial the 1800 608 5461, a heavy accented India woman answered the phone.
She asked me to connect to share screen with her. Our computer got connected with a service12345 code. I gave her my email again. Later she said she need to ask the techenical department to assist me. A also very heavy accented India man talked to me and saw the email I showed on my computer. He said that it was a formal Apple support and told me to go ahead and confirmed my ID.
I was not very happy. so I kept asking why do I need to resend all the information I had put in, especially the social security number? What was the different about Apple ID and I Tune ID. He was not paitient, and told me that it was necessary to reconfirm it. Finally he told me that I will be charged for 99 dollars to solve the "breach". I asked him where did it say about the charge and where did the breach come from.
The the phone line went dead.
I suddenly relieze that this is a fruad. I turned off my computer to disconnect the internet, later got the customer service line from Apple.com. This time a good English speaking lady confirm that that was not their mail, and advised me to change my Apple ID password.
Hopefully, this will help someone who also got a phising email like the one I got.
簡述一下 :
我收到一封 email 要凍結我的蘋果帳戶郵件 (Apple ID), 擱置幾天後我點擊去連結網頁 Link 。 登錄後發現要填一堆社會安全號碼跟信用卡資料 , 感覺怪怪的 。今天用手機估狗出號碼 , 先跟一個印度口音很重的女人, 要求連結電腦來查資料。 一來一往, 英文不通順 ,很難了解他的語言。終於連結後, 轉到一個同樣印度口音的男人, 他說這篇郵件的確是蘋果發出的, 我就把網頁所要的資料填好確認就好。 我還是覺得對填上社會安全碼挺狐疑的, 就跟他碎碎念, 他大概起了貪念, 說要收美金99元的服務費, 因為我毀約。 我追問哪裡有寫這個費用, 跟哪裡有毀約, 他就掛掉了。
我馬上關掉電腦, 取消連結 。之後再從蘋果公司打一次電話, 確定是詐騙集團的釣魚網頁。
