Thanks, I thought it was fake but wanted to get some confirmation.
You are welcome...glad to hear that it was ignored!
I thought it was dodgy too but I wanted to check it out so thanks 😉
I've just received a similar email:
Dear Customer,
We inform you that your Apple ID happens to expire in less than 48 hours.
It is imperative to update your account information!
Click on the link below to log into your Apple account.

Very convincing graphics and look to it. But the link asks for credit card info and Social Insurance info. No way am I sending that out.
received an an email today saying that my Apple ID was due to expire within less than 24 hours looks really good but think this could be a phishing one so I have ignored it assume this is correct,
It's a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details (iTunes accounts don't expire) - if you still have the email then forward it to Apple : reportphishing@apple.com , and then delete it.

TThank you found your comments very helpful.
Similar thing happened to me yesterday
First thing I noticed in text of email was sentence
"why this electronic courier you he was sent ?"
and last sentence
"Just click the link below and craft a session using your Apple ID and password. "
Although sender on email was designated as "Support <Service@Apple.com>"
I right clicked on original email before i reopened it to view full header and found return
path was
"Return-Path: <talene@purl.asu.edu>"
Found purl.asu is Phoenix Urban Research Lab Arizona State University....
| Support <Service@Apple.com> |

I Got the same email. I was worried about my account blocked, so i gave out my bank info and my driver license. What should i do now? Im so panic now. Thank you
Contact your card issuer immediately and get the card cancelled and replaced.
If you also gave your iTunes account's password change it via http://appleid.apple.com (What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support)
For your driver license, does your country's licensing website have any information abut what to do if you give your details to people ?
****! I almost fell for this when it came as a text. A TEXT for goodness sake - I have never had that before.
Now I clicked on the link, because I have been having problems downloading apps, but it just looked too fishy (phishy?), and tried to type the address into a browser on my laptop which of course gave me a 404 error.
Beware!
PS those four * are to cover up my 'd-a-m-n', gee they are sensitive on here...
Hello! what happens if you just opened the link? I didnt provide any info but i did click on the link :(
You might have let the people who sent the email know that the email account is active, so you might get further phishing emails (and possibly not just iTunes)
Your Apple ID about to expire email.anyone else have this?
