Apparent Fake Apple Receipt

Just received an e-mail entitled "Receipt from Apple" with an attached PDF which I did not open. Here is the text:

"Dear Customer, This details of your

purchase : Item : 3.750 Diamonds ( Mobile Legens App ) Date : December 29, 2018

Device : Iphone 7 Location : China For more information about your order,

Please Open the attacthed (PDF) file. Regard, App Store"


The e-mail address is: Receipt From Apple <invoicereceipt-4269@logistecdsikd-information.com>


This is the second such e-mail I've received in the last few days.

It is a phishing attempt. One of the first clues is that Apple would not refer to you as Dear Customer. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.
