Just wanted to let people know that there is a scam email being sent out that appears to be from Apple. It says your account has been disabled and to click a link to enter your information.

Sadly I fell for it (I am getting old and gullible!) because it appeared to be from Apple. So I had to cancel my cc and change my passwords.

I received a second scam email today that has is a different link. Anyway... don't do what I did!

Thanks for the heads up!

Don't feel too bad... last year I clicked on a contest on a friend's Facebook page, that ended up being a spam scam.

Hi Motherwell,

I have recently been bestowed the location of some gold cache from Eritrean war lord totaling the moneys of 18,000,000 american dollars.
The problem is I have lost the key card and need to get a new one cut, the cost to do this is 6,200 american dollars, if you can gift me this moneys I will on my honor give you a proportion of the 18,000,000 american dollars, totaling 9,000,000 million ugandan dollars.

You know, even if that were legit, you're telling him he'd only get back $3,600US.
