Real Freight Inquiry Newsletter

The real shipping inquiry SMS will tell you your order number in full and won't take you to strange links

So if you see any shipping inquiries, be sure to follow the steps below:

1. Think back to whether you really have online shopping or someone sent you something, if not, please ignore it directly
2. Observe whether there is a complete order number in the SMS format, and if so, check it on the official website or the freight company
3. Observe whether there are suspicious links, and if there are any links, pass them to the fraud prevention expert to check the website security under the condition of "unopened".

What happens when the link is clicked?

1. Jump out of the Apple warning

If you click on the website of the fake shipping inquiry SMS just now, instead of the shipping company or the official website, there will be an Apple Store warning box: " In order to protect the Apple Store account, your account has been restricted and needs to be re-authenticated. "

2. Log in to your Apple account

Then the screen will enter a website like Apple, asking you to log in, but the website is full of simplified characters , and the URL is omzerrfsrr[.]duckdns[.]org , a website that does not look like Apple 's website at all

And according to the card, in addition to the fact that the website is different from the real Apple account login, there are many buttons on the website that cannot be clicked , only the arrow next to the input Apple ID is responsive

3. Apple account was stolen after logging in

The editor also saw on Decca that netizens accidentally fell into this trap and logged into their Apple ID and password, and the entire account was stolen.

Not only the password was changed, but the trusted number was also replaced , making it impossible for him to log back in and get back his account.

If you also encounter the same problem, please contact Apple's official customer service directly to tell him the problem you have encountered, and see if it can help to retrieve or block this account
