What does the team think ?

Hi,

I have received an e-mail supposedly from Apple, I'm not totally wet behind the ears, has anyone else seen this and do we think it's genuine ?

Obviously have removed the link and the Apple ID, and everything that might require my apple ID on me Mac seems to be working OK.

Fake. I have plenty of those in my junk folder

Like Batboy says- fake.

First time I got one I wasn't sure, so went to the iTunes store to pull up and edit my account details. All perfectly normal.

Thanks to both of you.

There are also fakes ones from eBay, amazon everyone in fact.
Only go to a web site using a typed in address or from your own bookmark never from a link in a message.
I'm with plusnet and I got a dialog pop-up box on one site purporting to be from them asking for my feedback, another attempted scam.
