Please verify the contact email address for your Apple ID.

Good morning

I just got an email titled "Please verify the contact email address for your Apple ID." I am quite sure it is a phishing email so I decided to post here so people smarter then I am could confirm my belief. The words "Verify Now" are the URL and contains the following link

[Link|https://id.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/IDMSAccount.woa/wa/vetemail?langua ge=US-EN&key=MjExZjVkYzUyMzRjNDcwOGUzNjcyYzYxZWFhZTRiNDk0MzZhYWM5YmRhYmNlNTk4MzV mOTI1ODNiMWY3ZDg5NGYzNGViYzMzY2NjNmUxZTQyYjhjYWI3MDFkNTRlZDAxYjJjMzYzYTI3ZGFhZDB jNzEyZDcyZWY1Yzk0MDVhOTUzYTRkN2Q2ZWQ5NmRjOTgxNGIzM2VmYWIzMzZjZWI5OTc0NzA1ZDAzOWR iNTUxOWM5NjQ3MjA4YmM5OTc5NmJlY2I2YWVmOGNlOTA4NDc3YjIyOGIzODkxZTBjZmQ3NzJmMzRlYmM zM2NjYzZlMWU0MmI4Y2FiNzAxZDU0ZWQwMQ==]

Hi - What's going on Apple?

Ive rec'd a similar msg 4 times in the past 3 weeks:

Subject (all caps mine): HOW TO RESET YOUR APPLE ID PASSWORD

Dear ZZZ ZZZZZ,

To reset your Apple ID password, simply click the link below. That will take you to a web page where you can create a new password.

Please note that the link will expire three hours after this email was sent.

Reset your Apple ID password > ( I didn't click it but on hover I can see that this URL goes to an "iForgot" cgi.)

Questions? There are lots of answers on our Apple ID support page >

If you weren't trying to reset your password, don't worry — your account is still secure and no one has been given access to it. Most likely, someone just mistyped their email address while trying to reset their own password.

Thanks,

Apple Customer Support

This is a phishing attempt. I just received such a mail with an URL ending in ...nuwatrading.com . Do not react to it. If you feel unsafe you can log into e.g. the Apple Store and change your password. You can increase security by setting up two factor verification.
