    Genuine Apple site?

    Hi folks.
    I just got an email invoice through for a few songs purchased off my phone which I have not bought. My 5 year old had my phone earlier playing games while in the car wash so perhaps he did something he shouldn't.
    Anyway, at the bottom of the invoice is a line reading 'if you did not authorise this invoice cancel it now.
    When I click on that link the following page comes up and it asks me for everything from name and address to my credit card details. I notice in the address bar that it's .au. I presume that's Australia?
    Is this a phishing email?

    Cheers.

    Can you authenticate payments using your fingerprint in Apple-land ?

    I've never have (and never will) owned an Apple device, but on Android phones you can set it up so that you have to authorise ANY payments with either a password or a fingerprint (if your phone has a fingerprint reader). You don't have to add a credit / debit card to your account to use Google Play, either.


    Anyway... it's a scam, and well done for checking first... millions don't.

    I read an article on fake apple shops in China, selling 100% fake goods, even the staff thought they were working for Apple.
