[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 1694076, member: 98520"] One possibility is an Apple employee mis keyed in a serial number of a product, and the serial number matches a product you own. They would then contact you via the email address you used to originally register or purchase it. If not, then they are contacting you instead of the new owner of a MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011) 2.4GHz 2x2GB 500GB HD with the serial number you quoted. That shouldn't happen as Apple should have verified the owners name and address. Only Apple can check a serial number to see if it was previously registered to someone else, and they would not disclose any information relating to that. I have only come across Apple survey emails being sent to a previous products owner. This can happen when a product is repaired or exchanged, and the new owner doesn't disclose their email address. The repair survey email is then automatically sent to the email address they have on file, belonging to the previous owner. Your Apple ID isn't made insecure due to this, I would simply ignore it.
