Your Apple ID has been locked

This morning we received a text message on our office mobile phone with the following text –

Your Apple ID has been locked due to unauthorized Login attempts. Please Login and verify your account – http://apple-inet-verifys.com/ – which takes you though to this page – which looks very legit doesn’t it?

Our quick thinking tech knew it was a fake phishing attempt to get you to click on the link, login and put our real Apple ID in so that they can use it. Always be aware that what you think might look legit, is in fact not!

How did he check it was fake? He took the link and put it in a website browser and our anti virus picked it up as a fake site – and wouldn’t let us access it. If you use your computer to do internet banking or anything that you login to with personal information you should be using a paid for version of anti virus software – FREE versions don’t give you adequate protection.
