I received a suspicious message..

...saying that my Apple password expired tomorrow and it provided a link to change it.

Phoned Apple up and it's definitely not from them as they email people. I think it was someone phishing, trying to get my Apple details.

I've had plenty of dodgy emails before but never a text message. I deleted the message else I would provide it here and show what the link looks like.

What would the scammers do with a fake Apple ID and password, though? They couldn't get any money out of me as I have no debit cards attached to my Apple account.

Re: I received a suspicious message..

I think it's from forms I've filled in online and given my mobile number.
