Apple app password scam email warning

You open your inbox and see a subject line from Apple. It says an app-specific password was generated for your account. Then your stomach drops.

The email claims you authorized a $2,990.02 PayPal payment. It even includes a confirmation number. It urges you to call a support number right away. There is just one problem. You never did any of this.

If that sounds familiar, you are likely looking at a classic Apple impersonation scam.
