This is a scam right?
None of the details are correct in the email. Not my phone listed. But is definitely my name and my email address in the email. Called the store in Green Hills (no where near where I live), they don't have record of any of this.
Did you even make a Genius Bar appointment? They're not going to just make one for you out of the blue, so yes, it is a scam. You should forward it to Apple in a spam report so they can have a record of it - http://www.apple.com/legal/more-resources/phishing/
Dunno why I asked it as a question. It's not legit (is: phishing, stolen credit card, or something else). Definitely not my doing and not the correct details about my phone. Just sending it in to the forum here - in case anyone else is searching for the same thing in the future. Here are the details from one of the emails:

IMO, this is a legit email meant to be sent to someone else that got "confused" during a computerized process of email 'auto-creation' (like an auto-reply to a webpage form submission one might get)
