“Windows Is Resetting Itself,” “0800-014-8604 Pop-Up,” and “Chrome Security Warning” Scam are different kinds of fictitious alerts that can be introduced to anyone online. The Apple Rewards Event scam is a little different from these alerts because the only purpose behind it is to collect information. The message states that you have been identified as a loyal Apple user, due to which you are offered an opportunity to win “a special product.” If you click any link or button to claim the prize, you are likely to be routed to a different page, where you could be asked to disclose full name, home address, telephone number, and other personal details. You might not think much of it but disclosing such information to schemers could be dangerous because they could use it in a malicious manner. For example, if you disclose your email address and full name, you could be sent a personalized spam email with a corrupted attachment or link delivered via it. Without a doubt, we recommend deleting spam emails. Our research team also warns that Apple Rewards Event scam could be used to trick you into downloading something malicious. If you have downloaded anything – even if it was represented to you as a document file – you want to remove it.

Interacting with scams is always dangerous, and you do not need to fill out any surveys, disclose information, or download anything to put yourself at risk. In fact, sometimes, it is enough to click the scam pop-up or be routed to the scam page to get in trouble. Are you familiar with cookies? They are small pieces of data that are placed to collect and transmit information. In most cases, cookies record IP addresses to determine geo-location, as well as track interaction with online content, or record browsing activity. In more extreme cases, cookies can be used to record personally identifiable info, and that, of course, is not what you want if the cookies are employed by malicious parties who do not have the best intentions. Needless to say, the creator of the Apple Rewards Event scan does not have good intentions, and that is why you want to clear your browsing data as soon as possible.

Use the instructions below to reset the browser and clear the browsing history to ensure that every single trace of Apple Rewards Event is deleted. Of course, if the scam was introduced to you by adware or other unreliable software active on your operating system, you need to delete it as well, and, hopefully, you can find an appropriate removal guide on this website using the search field at the top. If cleaning the system manually is not possible, consider using the help of an anti-malware program. Keep it installed for strong protection. Note that if your operating system is not protected, you could face more scams and more malicious programs in the future. You also need to be cautious about how you interact online. Do not click random links and interact with random advertisements that could lead to scam websites. Also, do NOT trust surveys and prize giveaways because they are almost always bogus.
