mail from Apple

Looks suspicious to me.

 

Check your online orders status, any information they might need will be noted for you there. Also, call Apple directly. Don't do stuff via internet if you not sure.

 

If the source info looks fine, it might be all right. Especially if they only want your name and address - which they already have and that anyone can spam you with stuff anyway - so there's no risk until they start asking for more personal information.

 

Just call Apple and ask about it.

 

This right here! Call Apple; that should answer your questions.

 

Once you initially process the rebate after the purchase of the Apple product, they send you a confirming email, there you can find the claim number, this should match with the email you recently receive.

I received the same mail 4 days ago, and was lucky to find in my mail the old confirmation email, they do not match, this could be a way to get personal information from you.

This is another way to confirm is authenticity.

 

Call Apple to confirm if this came from them. In California if a check is not cashed by a certain period of time, the money gets forwarded to the Secretary of State. So this might just be Apple notifying you of an uncashed rebate check before they have to forward it to the state.
