Phishing warning
I received a "phishing" email this morning. It said it was from Apple. It said someone had tried to use my AppleID.
Even adds a link to Apple.com. As a precaution I reset my password and forwarded the email to Apple.

Apple sent me an email back after I reported the incident. They asked for the entire email to be forwarded as an attachment. I appreciated such a fast response from them. Hopefully they can get it resolved or at least learn a little more about these criminals.

Yesterday I got a call, AGAIN, from someone reporting problems with my computer, supposedly from Microsoft, They wanted me to sign in, touch certain keys and they would "repair" the errors. When I didn't follow their instructions and questioned them, they told me I was "wasting their time" when i pointed out that they called me, they called me a b1tch and hung up. Got a good laugh, anyway.

My husband was taken in by a 'security" firm called "Rescue Me" and they accessed my computer and put security on that I did not want. Apple were great in cleaning it all out for me but my husband is out for quite a lot of money. I had previously denied two attempts at getting me to sign up for back-up and for dealing with adware. Apple security has always worked for me and they provide good support.
