Received fake email receipt for iTunes purchase

Today I received a fake email receipt for iTunes purchase I did not make. There have been no charges on my credit card nor on my iTunes account. Is my computer at risk? This makes me nervous.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

The fact that you have received an email is harmless.


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
