Price: $76.99

The subscription period will automatically renew unless you turn it off no later than 24 hours before the end of the current period. To cancel auto-renewal or manage your subscriptions, click below and sign in.

What happens - If you click on the 'Cancel / Refund Subscriptions' link you are taken to a website copying Apple's page

The next page advises you 'This Apple ID is locked' and to click a link to unlock it.

In doing so you are then asked to input your personal details.

BEWARE of this very sophisticated scam.

This is how an email from Apple will look like - Apple <noreply@email.apple.com>
