possible Apple ID scan

[BillN_33]

I keep getting an email from

support@iprivacypolicyupdate.com

asking me to verify my Apple ID

"It is necessary to confirm your Apple ID to comply with the latest Apple
Privacy Policy / 'KYC' requirements. You can do this electronically using
the URL below and your ID (@myemailaddres) or by visiting an Apple
Store"

Looks "kosher" when I visit the link

but I am suspicious

Thanks Neil - the email comes from ICloud Services

as a rule of thumb, any email asking you to sign in to a link on that email is a phishing scam.

Do you think Apple would be welcoming reporting such flagrant attempts to compromise their reputation???

Unfortunately they aren't, but I also treat them like that. Especially those where I don't have an account in the first place
