Fishing email?
I received an email from iCloud at 4:20pm today. Can you confirm it was from apple and not a fishing email?

Was the email advising of “your account will be closed/disabled/deleted if you don’t verify within 24 hours? If so, see:
- Apple would not warn of a pending account issue, giving you a deadline to fix the issue.
- Apple does not include document, or PDF files to download.
- Apple would not refer to you as Dear Customer, Dear Client, or anything other than the name on file for your account.
- Apple would not have such horrible spelling or grammar.
- Apple would not send a message to “Undisclosed Recipients”.
It is a phishing attempt. 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.
If you provided your Apple ID and password at the bogus site, change your password immediately.
