I know that this is a scam but not sure whether I need to do anything

[question everything]

I probably should change my password but will certainly not on the link provided.

I have not clicked on anything, except on the reply arrow to get the full address of the sender. Hope this was not a fatal mistake.

1. I got the same one today also to an email not registered with apple.

Im not sure whether it helps, but I think that if your account registered $749 iPhone purchase (mine was supposed $879), apple would have sent a receipt. It’s also weird that they hit the recipient with both the iPhone purchase and birthday reason for contact. I’m not exactly sure what this phishing scam is, but I didn’t do anything. Of course I had the luxury of it being sent to a non Apple ID email.

2. Whenever I get an e-mail purporting to be from Apple or someone

I hit the “Reply All” icon (But I DON’T tap “SEND”!). I usually find that my response is supposed to go to some sleazy e-mail address belonging to some outfit that has nothing whatsoever to do with Apple. Once I see where my response was supposed to go, I delete the e-mail.

3. I try to not even open weird looking emails.

They might have a tracking pixel or image that verifies your email address ( a lot are just shotgunned hoping to find a real one. )

Fortunately, I often get a "unable to load remote content privately" warning because of my email security settings (recommended)

Even if the email was from Bernie.

Just check your account and cards, a good idea anyway.

Apple gets spoofed a lot. One can forward the email to [e-mail], subject phishing email. I rarely get replies from companies, ISP's, agencies and banks, and have stopped in recent times.

Here's the latest that I didn't even open.
