We could not reset the password for your AppIe lD - Spam Warning

This rather weak spam email uses a PDF to try and hide it's dirty link to a fraudulent website.

The email itself:

The Unlock Apple ID link points to:

http://applie-id.veriby.coolambo.ca which is sketchy at best. The website itself is already marked as deceptive by Google and Microsoft and so shouldn't be making too many lives more miserable.

The Apple site impersonation is somewhat more impressive:

And after you type in any email address and password to the unsecured site, it then presents you with:

in which they actually have the audacity to ask for a card number and bank account and sort code as security.

Hopefully no one will fall for this nonsense, and they will have wasted their time.

Stay vigilant!
