"Please Reviews your AppIe ID Profile" Phishing Scam
The email message below with the subject "Please reviews your AppIe ID profile" is another attempt by cybercriminals to steal their potential victims’ Apple account credentials. The fake email, which falsely claims the recipients' Apple and iCloud accounts will be deleted, has links in it that go to a phishing or fake Apple website. The phishing website steals account credentials and personal information by asking visitors to sign-in with their Apple account usernames and passwords.
Now, any attempt to sign into the fake or phishing website will result in the visitors’ Apple account credentials being sent to the cybercriminals responsible for the scam. Once the cyber crooks have gotten possession of the stolen account credentials, they will use it to hijack their victims’ Apple accounts and use the same accounts fraudulently.

Apple users should never click on a link in an email message to sign into their accounts. They should instead, go directly to https://appleid.apple.com/ and sign-in from there. If there is something wrong with their accounts, they will be alerted after signing in. Users who were tricked by the phishing scam, are asked to change their Apple account passwords immediately before their accounts are hijacked and used fraudulently. For those users who are unable to change their passwords, are asked to contact Apple Technical Support for help.
