You can verify your email address by logging in at http://appleid.apple.com/ by manually typing that address into your web browser, rather than clicking the link in the email. Also read the support article below, which includes details about verifying your AppleID: http://support.apple.com/kb/he37 Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 28/11/2012, at 1:31 AM, Alex aln...@highway1.com.au wrote: Hello Wamuggians my wife received the email below I would like to confirm whether it could be spam/malicious? She did try to download a weather app from the app store the previous night for her iPhone 4S, which she cancelled as it was taking a long time did not seem to be behaving properly, so this may be an Apple communication related to this. Seeing as the principle is that one does not click on links from bank sites to verify one's details, I thought this should fall in the same category.
