Fake Apple link

Just to let you know that I have received a mail from supposedly Apple saying that I have made an app purchase from iTunes and if I think that it is not me I should click a link to cancel it. The mail seems to be an exact copy of the Apple iTunes invoice and the link goes to a very similar website to enter Apple ID and credit card CVC number. When you look at the link address it is something like https://aplle.xxxxxx (you saw it right "aplle") but the site looks exactly like Apple iTunes ID enter page... Except the credit card CVC request.


The link is http://ow.ly/Ht6gb


So be aware you all... This is how the mail looks like. For your own safety do not click the link just in case. This is to inform Apple about this potential scam...
