WARNING: Scammers use DocuSign emails to push Apple Pay fraud

It's FREE

Phishing scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with a new tactic involving fake DocuSign emails that mimic charges from major companies like Apple. These fraudulent messages appear convincing, featuring a receipt, order ID, and a support number. However, calling the number connects you to scammers, not Apple or any legitimate service.

These phishing emails pretend to be billing receipts for recent Apple Pay purchases. They usually claim that a subscription has been charged to your account and prompt you to call a phone number if you don’t recognize the charge.

The emails often use well-known brands such as Apple, Netflix, Expedia, or even lawn service companies to make them seem credible. Some also include a “DocuSign” link with a security code, creating the illusion that you need to access a file to confirm the transaction.

In reality, neither Apple nor these other companies sends billing receipts through DocuSign. That detail alone is a red flag. Another telltale sign is the sender’s address. It may contain odd characters, such as a Cyrillic “B” replacing the “B” in “Billing,” which helps scammers bypass spam filters.

Phishing scams are constantly evolving, and the DocuSign Apple Pay ruse is just one of many. The best defense is to be skeptical. If something feels off, stop, double-check, and confirm directly through official channels. Scammers rely on panic and quick reactions, so by slowing down and verifying details, you can protect yourself from falling into their trap.
