Hi all,
In the most of the virus going round my laptop has packed up and I’m in need of a new MacBook. Only downside is all of the Mac stores are closed and I can’t get one before Monday.
I called +44 800 048 0408 and a gentleman told me I could purchase a refurbished one that would arrive Monday. The only thing that concerned me is the email it came from:
aos_sales_quotes@email.apple.com
is this correct?
many thanks

Nothing wrong with refurb/clearance, they are covered by exactly the same 1-yr warranty.
These could be brand/ open box returns/ clearance items— non the less they all go through a thorough Apple diagnostic and assessment. It can be a big savings— I have had great luck in this department over the years!

on the othere hand if in doubt—
It's a phishing email (it's not from Apple ; and iTunes know a person's name, so won't address emails as 'dear customer' ) - he/she could forward it to Apple : reportphishing@apple.com , and then delete it.
