the link is kosher (or at least matches password resets that I've done) so without knowing what your apple ID is and if it's close to some one else's it's most probably a result of some one with a very similar apple ID mistaking your ID as their's and having failed to login with their password have requested a password reset.... which of course has gone to you at your designated e-mail address.

as you didn't ate

Just received the following email from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, it is as received, except for the actual key in the link.

I have not requested a reset of the password or even been in my Apple account section for some time so I assume someone has entered my user name by mistake.

Probably no harm can be done but with the scams that are about I though I would just ask if anybody is familiar with the way Apple deals with there password resets.

Thanks
