I've been receiving emails that look like they are from apple saying my Apple ID was used to sign in in another country. If I don't verify my ID will be permanently disabled. I have received at least three over the last 2 months. It looks very real, but the from email doesn't seem quite right. Anyone else seeing this?

I believe it is and I already forwarded the email to Apple, after reading that article. I was just wondering if anyone else has been receiving them. With the first one I got I reacted like it was real, but soon realized it was probably fake. What could they be getting out of it, I don’t think the link went anywhere which was why I became suspicious and stopped. For the last two emails I was already on guard.
Many other forum users have reported similar emails. As to what they could be getting out of it: access to your personal information, which could be used for scamming other people or for charging you for iTunes purchases.
You're welcome!
