<\/p>\nThere is a phishing email making the rounds that tries to pass itself off as a discount \u20ac100 gift card for the Apple Store. For only \u20ac9, it promises you quite a hefty discount. But don\u2019t be fooled, you won\u2019t get any such goodies; you will only have your information stolen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At a time when many people are wanting to buy newly released Apple products, not to mention going into the holiday season, people are more likely to be tempted by such offers. What it boils down to is this: Apple is not going into the discount business, selling their products at over 90% off when there are still lines and waitlists forming as we speak. No matter how loyal and long-term your love of Apple products is, clearly this is a scam trying to take advantage of the fervor that is currently in full swing for Apple products. Be careful this holiday season and realize that if an Apple discount or offer is too good to be true, there’s probably a reason why.<\/p>\n
