Apple Scam ?

[metziah]

I just received this email supposedly from Apple.

Did anyone else receive this?
Is this possibly a scam?
Obviously I didn't click on the link....

What email address did it come from?

What they wrote is actually true, there is a program like that. Did you have that service on your phone?

Maybe call Apple and inquire about it

It was sent from this:

nothing below.. And what about the other part.

Did you get this service done to your phone?

i got something like that for my iTunes account, everything look really legit,
checked the email and it was some weird foreign email,
just deleted the email

Seems like hackers are busy with apple lately.

Hover over (or inspect the source code of) the links in the email to see if they actually go to apple.com.

I have this issue with my sleep awake button on my iphone 5. I went into the apple store and they told me what it says in the email. They offered to fix it or trade in and receive a $350 credit.

I have had this issue about a year ago, I had my phone replaced. So I guess it would make sense. But.....

Just an Update..
I called Apple Care, and the email was sent from them. I clicked on the link and it directed me to Apple.com
