I received an email from "apple" asking me if they have the right email address.

I received a message from "Apple <[email protected]>" 
Because of spam warnings I am not sure it is legitamate.
Does Apple send email requesting verification of my password, etc?  I'm not sure I should click the attached link.
Thanks in advance for any advice

Also, if you ever want to find out who the owner of a website, I recommend using the app Deep Whois. In this case, you would enter part of the email address of the person who sent you the email. You would enter whatever follows the "@" symbol. (i.e. for [email protected], enter only "apple.com").
This would show you whether or not the site from which the email is managed was owned by apple (and it would give you some info about the person who spam-texted you...which would allow you to submit this info to the FCC as a spam reporthttp://www.fcc.gov/guides/spam-unwanted-text-messages-and-email).
Also, if the email address is a gmail, yahoo, or (insert major email provider here), then you can simply contact both the FCC and the email provider letting them know that the email address is conducting a phishing operation (include screenshots of what you receive and as many other details as could be relevent). That should at least delay their operation.
Happy justice!

    Mate, I'm trying to find out if it was shipped like that or not. If someone else has had the same issue then I can go back to Apple and have them look into it further. If not then as I said Vodafone is selling second hand phones and they will have to replace the phone.
    Vodafone account manager is saying that he has never heard of anything like it.
    So I'm left with one of 3 answers.
    1: The phone was shipped like that so its a factory error.
    2: The Apple genius doesn’t know what he's talking about then I can go back to the store and ask for a second opinion.
    3: Vodafone is selling second hand phones as new.
    I need to narrow it down so I can deal with the account manager appropriately 

  • How can I restore Photos from another iPad? But they have the same Apple ID and were not backed up in a computer?

    We, I mean my mom and I were trying to restore important pictures from our sold iPad and put them in the new one. They were not backed up inside her email address and she keeps on bugging me right now to look for them. Please help us

    Are the photos in the Camera Roll album in the Photos app?
    If so you can connect the iPad to a computer and copy the photos to the computer. After they are on the computer you can sync them to the new iPad.

  • Can't I get my old iTunes that I have purchased downloaded from Apple?  I don't have the old computer anymore.  Also, is there a number to call if I think I have more than one account and would like them to consolidate my accounts?

    I have two problems:
    1.  I no longer have my old computer and want to download the iTunes I have purchased in previous years.  Aren't they all in "the cloud?"
    2.  I think I have more than one account and would like to get them combined.  Is there a good number or email to Apple that I could get that done?
    THanks!
          SHawn

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Have you failed to do this?
    You can redownload some iTunes purchases in some countries:

    As provided, you cannot merge accounts

  • How do I know if the email from Apple asking for credit card information is genuine

    Hi, I just received an email from Apple Worldwide telling me they've suspended my account momentarily until they can certify my details which includes wanting credit card info etc.  how do I know it's genuine?

    Hello pegglekatie,
    This e-mail is not from Apple.
    The iTunes Store will never ask you to provide personal information or sensitive account information (such as passwords or credit card numbers) via email.

    There have been a number of phishing scam emails going around for at least half a year...do not respond, click links, or do anything with that email.  Apple does not operate that way.

    I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
    On iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
    On Mac:
    Open "Messages" application
    Click "Messages menu > Preferences
    Click "Accounts"
    Select your AppleID account
    Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
    Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
    And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
    To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble.  If it's green then you are using SMS.

  • I wanted to reset my security question but i didn't receive any mail from apple! What do i do

    I wanted to reset my security question but i didn't receive any mail from apple! What do i do plz help me

    If the email's not in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    It is very likely phishing. Don't give them a drop of info.
