Fake iTunes

I have just received a text message advising me that a restriction has been placed on my iTunes account. The said message further gives me a link to click on in order to confirm and update my account.

Here is how I know it is fake: I have no iTunes account and same message has been sent to my payg phone as well.

So fabbers beware!

Ah, the old Paypal one. I used to get them daily.

Strange, as I have never had a Paypal account.

There is an argument that says you should always reply to phishing scams - but give fake details.

The rationale behind it is that most people don't fall for them, so while the scammers get very few responses, the data they get back is on the whole very good.

If however lots of people reply with fake details, the effort the scammers have to go to to sift through the thousands of fake account details to find the few genuine ones will make it not worth their while.

Except that you have verified your e-mail address.

look on google for scambaiters you'll see some great revenge on these email scum, including one of them tattooing scambaiters on his forehead to "prove he was real". A cracking read.

A couple of million, is that all?

I've had amounts in the hundreds of millions offered me.
