[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1753762"] BTW, as a rule, I never click on a link in an email, even if I think it could be honest and OK. If I do think I need to check with some company about the email contents, I go to the website by typing in the known good address (or using a known good bookmark). Then I know where I am and feel safer in entering in login data. If I just click a link that SAYS one thing but takes me to a different domain and give away my login/password, then I've been tricked. So, just don't do it. Don't click on links you didn't solicit. For example, in your specific case instead of going to some website, I would engage with the apple Support team by going to Apple.com, Support and opening a chat with an Apple rep to report the email and find out what you should do. If the email is appropriate, and you didn't order the services, then your account has been compromised and someone got into it to buy this service. If the email is inappropriate and a scammer (most likely) then you will know, as will Apple. And you don't have to click on some dodgy link in an unsolicited email and fork over your password.
