[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1905532, member: 131855"] I've gotten similar emails supposedly from Apple. For me, the first clue was usually grammatical errors, as others have suggested. Later I noticed that the sender was not from an Apple server. In my case, IIRC, the letter threatened the shutdown of my Apple ID in a matter of days if I did not contact them immediately. The fake email from FedEx might have worked if I hadn't realized that there was no reason for FedEx to contact me at the time. I hadn't ordered anything for several weeks and anyone sending me a package would have contacted me beforehand to let me know about a shipment. [/QUOTE]
