I have never heard of Apple sending such a notice and I've been using Macs since about 1990 and helping here for over 20 years. I feel certain this is a scam.


If the computer is running macOS 10.7 "Lion" or higher, the model and sub-model that Carol mentions are quickly available by doing "About this Mac..." from your Apple menu. Example for a iMac running macOS 10.13 High Sierra:

The sub-model is especially helpful because it controls what OS version your computer can run, and OS version is the keey th how useable the device will be.
