Dear all,

I got the email (pasted below). What does this mean? Is this for real or is there someone trying to get me a virus??

Thanks! Danielle

Instead of replying to the link in that email, go to Apple support, from the support button at the top of the Apple.com site, and attach the email. Ask thiem if this is legitimate, assuming you have not tried to sell your apple account 🙂


There are nuances in the language that are not typical of Apple correspondence so it looks suspect.


It is seldom a good idea to click on links in emails of this sort when you haven't been doing anything wrong.
