Receiving messages to update my informations - phishing?

Hi, good morning.


For the last two days I've been receiving a message from apple@apple.com with the following text:


"

It doesn't seem to be a message from Apple, considering the image and being signed everywhere as "Appel", but the fact that the message is coming from apple@apple.com and being sent to 2 of my e-mail addresses (one is what I'm presently using, the other I haven't used it for years) makes me wonder if there wasn't any intrusion on Apple's data bases.


Could anyone confirm this?


I erased the messages received yesterday and logged in directly through Apple's website, I didn't find any warning that I needed to update any information. I will erase these messages also, but this seems weird.


Best regards. Miguel Caldeira Proenca
