Is this a Legitimate Email or a Scam?

I received an email this morning stating my ID has been suspended and will be deleted in three days if I do not take action. It also says it is a reply, but I have not contacted Apple with any issues. I just wanted to know if someone could verify it as a scam for me, though I am fairly certain it is. One link takes me to mobigraphy.net and the other the Google homepage. But, it does look very official. I will give them that.

Total scam. Report it to Apple: Identify and report phishing communications - Apple Support, then delete it.

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. Apple will never request personal information such as Social Security numbers.


The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.


Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it. You can forward as an attachment by going to Mail/Message/Forward as attachment.
