This time again an email in my inbox It reminds me again that phishing (identity theft) is the order of the day and we cannot stop advising all our friends, acquaintances and relatives, to be careful when opening an email that comes from Apple, Google or any other site with a link in its description.
In this case it is an alleged apple mail in which they will charge me in my bank account $ 79,99 for the purchase of Clash of Clans, Box of Gems ...
