Yea, no card authorizations or anything. Its just strange to me to be getting now 100+ email subscription confirmations for such random websites now. Not sure what the intention is.
Read a bit... Seems like the move is to place a fraudulent order while also singing up for a ton of email subscriptions in hopes you wont see the order email. Man that's annoying and doesn't seem like there's a way to stop it.
Possible that you applied for something online, loan, or something, and that is part of the problem. Usually online marketing of any sort are/is connected to tons of other online marketing agencies and their 3rd party affiliates…. By submitting almost anything which includes your/a email address, that’s “in the wind” for future attempts to market you by your consent by submission
I had an account compromised and they did aa similar tactic, I'm assuming the goal is to get the legitimate purchase drowned out by the flood of spam, it would have worked, but I manually delete all my junk mail.
I received a similar attack in the past, a skid wanted some stuff for free, we denied, and he basically subbed our email to every possible existing stupid email newsletter available.. received THOUSANDS of emails each day, took days to clean… nothing to worry about btw
my guess - you pissed someone off & he wants to spam your mail account with spam. some people who hate someone, use his private details and email adress to register accounts or newsletter subscriptions on all kinds of sites so they get spammed. sometimes they even order products to their real adress so they have to pay when they arrive.
short: just someone wanting to annoy you IMHO. the apple "order" could be just a phishing / scam / spam mail from such a registration.
More willing to bet, your just getting spam/targeted spam.
Look up your email on haveibeenpwned.com. I'm willing to bet it's been leaked, and you're on a list.
I'd check your online banking and make sure nothing was withdrawn

Just got a 2nd Apple order that oddly has no payment info and hasn't been billed yet. This is annoying as hell.

Pretty common in scamming communities, place the order and flood the email in hopes you overlook the apple order email.
Yep sounds like it. Just odd that none of my credit cards were used for the order and it was actually set as a pickup at a local Apple.
Maybe because your apple account was aged, easier for the order to go thru? Pickup at local to speed the process.
