On that note, there is nothing stopping you from right clicking on the links in emails, selecting "copy link" and pasting it into the URL bar in your browser...before you hit enter have a look at the URL and make sure it looks legitimate (ie. info.apple.com and not infoapple.sdfjlkhajnaskj234nsdf.com/wehacku?steal=username).

Either it is a scam , or they have been trying to access your .mac account .

My bet is on the SCAM trying to get your login and password .

Hello WAMUGers,

Has anyone else received a similar email to the one below.
I have not (to my knowledge), ever provided any answers to Security Questions with Apple.

Is this some hoax email?

Thanks.
