I put in an order for one of the new MBP's on Apples online store and now I've started receiving spam emails 1-2 times a week.

I never use the app store but I started getting these emails for game recommendations on the app store and it makes me wonder if these e-mails are even legit? I've always been very cautious not to click on any links in emails in general so I'd rather not click a link in a sketchy email.

Does this seem legit? May seem like a silly question but I've never received any spam emails from Apple until I put in the order for the MBP. It just doesn't seem like Apple sending these kinds of emails out and especially when I've never signed off on receiving these in the first place.

Looks legit. However given that some soammets are getting very clever about making higher level characters look like normal, it's hard to say.

Could also just be a massive coincidence...
