According to Mac Observer, these messages may say something like, “Apple Alert: We’ve detected a suspicious purchase of $412.38 made with your Apple ID at the App Store.”
Another reads, “Apple Approval Notice: Your iCloud ID was used at ‘APPLE STORE – CA’ for $143.95, paid via Apple Pay Pre Authorization. We’ve also detected suspicious sign-in and Apple Pay activation requests. To keep your account secure, we’ve placed these requests on hold. If this wasn’t you, contact an Apple Representative immediately to prevent auto-debit charges. Call now to cancel.”
“These messages create urgency, making you feel like your account is in danger,” Mac Observer explained.
“They use phrases like ‘suspicious activity’ and ‘unauthorized purchase’ to push you into acting quickly.”
