The Chatham-Kent Police Service has issued a fraud alert, as fraudsters are attempting to gain access to people’s Apple accounts.

Police officials say the goal of this fraud is to access your financial information many people have attached to their Apple iTunes account and defraud them of purchases and wealth transfers.

If you receive an e-mail from ‘@myapplepodcast.com’ or other suspicious e-mail account you are advised to use caution.

These fraudsters will use ‘mock’ websites designed to look like the authentic Apple websites.

They will often only allow you to type in your personal information and not have functioning menus.
