SMS phish: "Your AppIe ID is due to expire today." / appieid-support.com

This SMS spam is actually a phishing message:

AppCare

Final Notification

Your AppIe ID is due to expire today. Prevent this by confirming your AppIe ID at http://appIeid-support.com


AppIe Inc

Note that the "l" in all the mentions of "Apple" has been substituted with an uppercase "I" which is quite hard to tell.

This is one of those odd SMSes that doesn't seem to come from an actual number. If you follow through the link you end up on a straightforward Apple phishing page..
