I got this email and I was wondering if it was legitimate?

Question

Settlement ID Number:  AP03433228
Your Credit is Ready to Be Activated
Dear Apple Customer,
You previously received an email informing you that you were eligible for a credit in your Apple iTunes account. The credit results from the Settlements reached with publishers Hachette, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, and Penguin in antitrust lawsuits filed by State Attorneys General and Class Plaintiffs about the price of electronic books ("E-books"). Apple Inc. is not a party in these settlements. If you did not receive that email, you can read more about the Settlements at www.EbookAGSettlements.com.
We are happy to inform you that the Court in charge of these cases has approved the Settlements, and an account credit is ready for you to activate. You can activate your account credit in the same way that you redeem an iTunes Gift Card. To activate your credit now click on the link provided below and enter your iTunes store credit activation code.
Once you have activated your account credit, you can use it to make E-book purchases on the iTunes Store. If your account does not reflect this credit, please contact the Settlement Administrator by phone at 1-866-621-4153 or by email at [email protected] For questions about how to activate your credit from your computer, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, review Apple's instructions for activating iTunes Store codes at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574.
This credit will be available for activation for one year and will expire on April 1, 2015 if not activated. If you have not activated your credit within 90 days of the expiration of the credit, you will receive an email reminding you that it is still available to activate.

I can't promise you that it is legitimate, but a bit of research suggests that it well may be. The domain of the site given is run by Rust Consulting, Inc. who apparently act as agents in this sort of case. These websites turned up in the research:

At least it's not the usual scam, which is trying to get your logins and bank details - indeed if it is a scam it's a very complicated one. Approach with caution; I should try phoning rather than emailing them. And whatever, don't give anyone your logins or bank details.
