Suspicious email claiming to be Apple.

Hi,


ive received a number of emails from the following address claiming to be Apple. The email address is noreply@apple.com.


They have included an attached letter with Apple branding. Can anything be done to stop these guys. I don’t believe for one minute the sender is Apple, so haven’t replied but my worry is others may.


Apple, please stop these guys!


Thank you.


Russell.

It's a scam, you can report to Apple here: Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address.  The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information such as Social Security numbers.




The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.
