Hi!

I just got the email below, and believe this is something wrong, as there were so many errors! Of course I wouldn't respond to it.

Just want to bring this to other people's attention!

Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address. The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment.

It's an obvious phishing email, if you haven't already done so you could forward it to Apple : reportphishing@apple.com , and then delete it.
