I got a message in my inbox-I have an iTunes gift cert. of $100!

[squirrel]

The e-mail says:

You have received an Itunes Gift Certificate in the amount of $100
You can find your certificate code in attachment below.

Then you need to open iTunes. Once you verify your account, $100 will be credited to your account.
So you can start buying games, music, video right away.

iTunes Store.

I shouldn't click on the attachment right?

Yeah sounds fishy. Does it say who it's from? If it was a gift card sent it should say who the giver is, if it doesn't, I would assume it's suspicious.

Also, try googling "iTunes emailed gift card". If it's a virus or a scam, usually people are talking about it.

I would NOT open it.

I got the same EXACT one from Amazon earlier today. I deleted it right away.

I've received quite a few eGiftcards in my day - and I've NEVER had to open an attachment to get the numbers. DO NOT OPEN!

Do you have an Itunes account?

I don't even have an account with Itunes or any of that stuff, so it all goes in the trash. At least yahoo is pretty good about sorting out the spam. Even when it's a legit email. Like Disney's Movie Club, since I never open their emails. Yahoo now puts those in the spam box. The rest of my Disney emails go to my inbox.

Looks like...smells like...probably is.

Do NOT open the attachment but I would contact Itunes to report the email.

This article is from 2010. Same exact email you got. It's a scam.
