Gaming Email from apple.

[pwsincd]

Dear <my name>,

Your Apple ID, <my email>@gmail.com, was just used to download Pocket Poker : Texas Holdem Pro Series from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.

This download was initiated from the United States.

If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.

If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.

Regards,
Apple

Just got this email ... wtf.... anyone come across this before ,, btw i dont have any apple products , since i formatted my ipod and sold it 2 yrs ago...

 

[drottning]

just do what they told you to do????

 

[pwsincd]

well yeah ,

 

[WiiUBricker]

So someone hacked you and downloaded stuff with your apple id?

 

[pwsincd]

well hacked what im not sure i aint had itunes or an apple device for two years , im not sure where this has come from.

Did you ever own an I device?
If so did you properly remove your apple id before selling it?

 

[ComeTurismO]

Yeah, this is a bit fishy. Are you sure you removed every single property of yours on the iPod, like the ID, and shit?

i cant recall exactly what the procedure was but something along the lines of return to factory settings kinda scenario. and im in the UK.

 

[431unknown]

"Erase all content and settings" that should have been enough. Did you have iTunes on your pc?

 

[pwsincd]

yeah , did you read this thread lol.

I had sold my old 3G to a guy in Africa and had do a complete wipe of the phone. He emailed me a few days after he got it and wanted to know the password for my iTunes account some how he had the right email for it and it wasn't the one we used for contact with each other.

 

[pwsincd]

i sold mine to a uk high street electricals kinda outlet. CEX.

 

[431unknown]

My guess would be that your email was probably still on the phone and the password was something simple or they were able to retrieve your info from the phone some how. If you haven't already you better go change your password.

iforgot.apple.com is this link legit?

 

[pwsincd]

seems it

 

[431unknown]

Yes it is. I've used it before.

 

[Pleng]

When you hover over the iforgot.apple.com link does the link presented match the one claimed? Or does it actually link to something like iforgot.apple.superclick.b*star.hackmequick1554.com?

 

[pwsincd]

no it seems legit...

The site it directs you to is Apple-certified, but double-check if it is on your end in case you're infected with anything that might re-direct you (take note of your browser's address bar - on Chrome it'll even show you the exact certificate). It would seem that someone used your Apple ID - no more, no less. Not necessarily a hacking matter if you left it saved on your iPod before selling it.

 

[pwsincd]

it is legit . lol it has the cert it has no unusual signs that would steer me anywhere else but to apple .
