Q: email from apple re: itunes?

I got this email from Apple... not sure if it's legit.

 

Dear *****,

 

Your Apple ID, **********, was just used to purchase "Levels" by Avicii from the iTunes Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.

 

If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not make the purchase yourself.

 

If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.

 

Regards,

Apple

 

 

 

 

I did make this purchase recently...  any idea why i'd be getting this email?  Has my account been hacked into?  or would Apple legitimately send an email like this?

    If it was a scam it would be trying to get information from you, and the sending email address would not end in apple.com.

     

    iforgot.apple.com is a legitimate site for you to change your email. The message has probably been triggered as a security measure to make sure that it is indeed you that has purchased this and not some unauthorised person. As you did make the purchase you can ignore the whole thing.
