WARNING: IMPORTANT: Your iPhone Warranty Extension for 1 Year!

I got a message entitled "IMPORTANT: Your iPhone Warranty Extension for 1 Year!"

This is a phishing sight - it goes to 87.106.14.227, not Apple.

Rats.... just show to go you that if it sounds too good to be true it probably smeels like phish...

Exclamation It's a scam for sure

I just got that email today.....

The whole "text" of the email is actually an image. If you click on the link it takes you to a pretty good copy of Apple's support site.

They are out to "clone" your iPhone.....they want the serial, IMEI number and a few other bits. All of the links on spoofed site do take you to the real Apple site so at least they tried.
