SPAM Nessage from Apple ID?

[Dino F]

I just received an email from apple@acsaperu.org (is this even a genuine Apple email) asking me to verify my Apple ID?

In the email, it also states that, If you didn’t make this change or if you believe an unauthorized person is attempting to access your account, you can reset your password by going to My Apple ID.

Well, when I then click on the link (the words 'Apple ID are a link in the original email), it takes me to the Apple ID Sign In page, however, the web address in my Firefox browser bar shows as this:

http://gotmulch.us/applestore1/itun...ebauth-6D7re734SDsu4He3Dy7Dn357f7D/signin.php

Is this even genuine?!?

I have NOT recently changed me Apple ID (like the email suggests) so why am I getting this?

When I follow a genuine link from Google (when searching for 'Apple ID'), after signing in, the genuine Apple site is aksing me to change my password - possibly because it is not secure enough. Perhaps this is the reason I received the above email?!

No absolutely not legit. You should not have clicked that link.

Don't enter anything on this website, sounds like phishing.

Instead, go to the actual Apple ID page https://appleid.apple.com/, change your password there (and only there).

Wondering why you believed "acsaperu.org" domain could ever be associated with Apple ?

Not even close to being genuine. Delete asap.

Of course it isn't. At that point you should have deleted it.

Even if it said somewhere@apple.com that's easy to spoof, any such email is by definition phishing / spam.

I have NOT recently changed me Apple ID (like the email suggests) so why am I getting this?

You've made the mistake of assuming something you did on apple or elsewhere triggered this. Hundreds of millions of these emails are sent out to random addresses in the knowledge that some will land on genuine apple users who will make the sort of assumptions you nearly did. I get numerous "reset your bank xxxxx password" messages, sometimes xxxxx is my bank, most other times it's not. The fact it is doesn't mean its more likely it came from my bank.

It's just a spam message, delete it and move on,
