I'm suspicious of this email, it smells. Can anyone confirm if it is legitimate? Links removed

    Id say a scam purely for the spelling mistakes, you could login using the correct address.

    ^^ Exactly this.

    It's best to be cautious. Never log in via links in email. Always check the web address of the site if you access via a search engine.

    Go directly to Apple to see if anything's up. Type "apple.com" into the browser, log in to your account and see if there are any messages that confirm what was in the email.

    To be honest, it sounds and reads very much like a scam.

    Is there a link in the email? Hovver your mouse over it and see what the real login is.

    either something really random or a fake apple. app1e (number one)

    Check the real senders address also. I hate all the emails that just put from apple when the real senders address is something random.

    I had to install a plugin for Thunderbird otherwise you just get the FROM box with something like Paypal Accounts, then the URL is paipal.wearescammers.com.uk.us.mars

    Always check the senders real details. And never click links in emails.
