2 Did They Address You By Your Name?

This is a small one, but it’s worth noting anyone because it’s another sure sign of positive identification.

Apple will never address you by your email address in communications. Apple will always use your name.

Basically, if an email starts with “Dear yourname@youremail.com” — it will always be a fake.

Oftentimes, scammers won’t have access to your full name. Which is why they use your email to address you.

Apple, on the other hand, does. In the vast majority of cases, Apple will use your full name on record when it’s addressing you.
