Thanks so much for the help. I never experienced something like this before. Anyway i changed the password and, really i only had 1 device, (My IPhone) that was using that specific password just in case that happened. I guess you live and learn. I never gave any other details so I really got lucky there. Jerry Mader

I keep getting the same message and I have learned enough over the years to never and I mean never click on a link in an email such as this. The best thing to do in this case is to delete the message and then go into the Appstore and try and purchase an app. If your account is truly locked then you will be prompted for more information in order to unlock it.

Hello, I have a question for all of you on the VI phone list. So I keep getting this email, and it says "your Apple online access has been temporarily locked quote "click here to confirm it and unlock "then, it wants my username, and password. Then it want my credit card number, which to me seemed a little bit suspicious, so I did not go any further. And I'm about to change my password. I would like to know if anyone can tell me if this is a real legitimate email or not? Do I need to confirm my account with them or is this just a hoax? Also The strangest part, was that it opens up and IP address, instead of ID.apple.com. So I'm kind of concerned about this.and they sort of don't know what to do with it. Just to see what would happen to see if it would prompt me for the other message it did with the credit card number, I did click the link and I saw where it said this account has been suspended and nothing else. Awfully strange. I would think that if Apple wanted to suspend my account, I couldn't download from the app store. I just downloaded a dark room for the app store so something really strange is going on. Sorry if there are any errors in this message, I am dictating to my iPhone at this point and I do apologize if there are any mess ups LOL. Thank you all for your help, I do appreciate it. Should I maybe call Apple and conferment? Just out of wonder and again I do appreciate all of your help. Jerry Mader -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
