i received an email from "AppIe@Id.appIe.com" stating that my ID was used in Russia to order "Minecraft-Pocket Edition" from the iTunes Store in the amount of "6,99". It advised me to check my Apple ID by clicking on a link which btw opened a page that contained writing in Russian I suppose. There were no charges to my account however I did go in and change my PSWD for my account. Has this happened to anyone else recently?

You probably know this, but for any other readers, NEVER, EVER CLICK ON A LINK IN ANY EMAIL. Even if it looks like a legitimate message. It is trivially easy to forge email messages. If you are concerned log on to the site directly from your browser, and make sure that the site shows a "lock" symbol in the address bar before entering a password.


My forged email story: Years ago a friend who is a novelist emailed me, and asked how one could send an email that looked like it came from someone else. So my reply appeared to have been sent by one of the characters in one of his novels.
