Q: false mail

I recived this mail. Is it a fraud?

Dear k************** ,

Your
Apple ID, k************* , was just used to buy Parallels 2X RDP
(Remote Desktop) from the Mac App Store on a computer or device that had not
previously been associated with that Apple ID.

This download was
initiated from Germany.

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

If you did not initiate
this purchase, we recommend that you go to

canceltransactions.apple.***

and
cancel any unauthorized transaction

Regards
Apple

Seems to be a scam since the cancel link given is not what is displayed
It is:
http://www.appleid.cm860zyvkok.cm860zyvkok.nomadceo.com/.apple2/?kapellan@hemnes .kirken.no

See the following. It includes telling you how to report it to Apple
Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store - Apple Support

Yes, it's fake. There's not even a product called Parallels 2X RDP in the App Store

Forward the email as an attachment to reportphishing@apple.com - it always gives me some satisfaction even if it will not result in prosecution of the nefarious critter.
