Fake Apple Discount Card Wants to Steal Your Personal Info

Have you received a suspicious-looking Apple Store discount card in your email lately? It could be the latest ploy to steal your personal data, Sophos reports.

Aimed at Apple customers in Australia, the "card" claims to offer a 100 AU$ ($103) credit if you spend only 9 AU$, which is, quite obviously, too good to be true.

The text of the email contains the following bit: "Apple is rewarding its long-term customers. Your loyalty for our products made you eligible for buying an Apple Discount Card. With this only 9 AU$ Discount Card you will have 100 AU$ credit at any Australian Apple Store."

Attached to the email comes a form that asks for a lot of your personal info, including your name, address, date of birth as well as credit card details.

The entire thing does not come from Apple and is merely a scheme to obtain your personal info.
