Is this from Apple Customer Support

Received this email, note the hyperlink. I'm sure that any reputable company would not provide a link but ask you to login.

Needless to say I have not followed the instructions.... guess I'm becoming more cautious about phishing and reckon

this is not from Apple, what do you think?

"Dear Client,
To get back into your apple account, you'll need to confirm some information. It's easy: Click the
link below to open a secure browser window. Confirm that you're the owner of the account and then
follow the instructions.

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message to Apple.

reportphishing@apple.com

The link below has information to help identify fraudulent emails.

I agree with stedman1...Apple will never send this type of email regarding your account. They will however send you account info (a login to your Apple ID with an unknown/new device, etc) where you will need to login to your Apple ID via Apple's secure website at http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ where you can be certain of your security.

Disregard the email and delete it.
