When you complete the form, you may see a message indicating that you have successfully cancelled the Spotify subscription. It will also ask for your name and address details and further identifying information. The form asks for your credit card details, ostensibly as a means of verifying your identity and allowing the refund to be processed. Most of these Apple “cancel order” scams will also take you to a second page and ask you to complete a refund form. They can then use the account to make fraudulent purchases, steal personal information, and send spam and scam messages in your name. This information can later be collected by criminals and used to hijack your Apple account.
When you arrive on the fake page, you will be instructed to log in using your Apple ID and password. If you do click the link, you will be taken to a bogus web page that closely emulates the genuine Apple website. The criminals responsible for this phishing attack are banking on the fact that at least a few recipients, believing that a mistake has been made or their account has been compromised, will click the “cancel” link. Instead, the email is a phishing scam designed to steal your Apple ID, your credit card numbers, and other personal information. And the claim that your Apple store account has been used to purchase this Spotify subscription is untrue.
However, the email is not from Apple and has no connection to Spotify. The message includes a link that supposedly allows you to cancel or review your subscription. Spotify is now requiring its Premium subscribers to switch to Spotify's own payment system.This email, which purports to be an Apple payment notification, confirms that you have purchased a yearly subscription to Spotify Premium for $150.99. Spotify users used to have the option to pay for their Spotify Premium account via their Apple ID, but that's no longer the case as of August 6, 2018. This scam is likely taking advantage of recent changes made to Spotify subscription payments.
They could even potentially make purchases without your immediate knowledge. It's a scam to get your Apple ID credentials, and it was caught by a cautious Reddit user. Once the scammers have your Apple ID credentials, they could have access to personal information, photos in iCloud, and the location of your Apple devices. The email prompts victims to click a link to cancel or "review your subscription." The email contains the fake confirmation of a year's subscription to Spotify's Premium streaming service - it's likely intended to prey on your surprise that you may have been erroneously charged. A new phishing scam is targeting people by using a fake Spotify email in order to get you to hand over your Apple ID.
