How to tell this is a Phishing email ?
- Check email "Apple Inc" <Dear-Admin.History.Account-Transfer-appleid2018@Update-Sumary-Account098-costumer039.legendsok.u122pdateyouinforeminadersugmarrylijmitedaccesyouraccoutservicepaksupriadi4536367webapps.account.live.mail.com> it not from apple but a live.com email.
- Convert the email view from HTML to text, check for bad URLs.
