It's not google - it's a scam. The actual address, hidden in the long 
google string is 'staging.btvin.com'.


I get these regularly, and ignore them.

The body of the email starts out:

"Dear costumer,
You recently requested a password reset for your Apple ID. To complete the

If this really is from Google, I would really like to know why — it seems to me 
Google is getting far too big with tentacles into far too many things. I sent 
the information to Scamwatch.

Spam purported to be from Apple

[clamshell]

Just a heads-up:

Received an email supposedly from Apple about resetting my Apple ID password — 
claiming I recently requested a password reset for my Apple ID  — I didn’t. 
Hovered my mouse over the several links in the email, and this is what it said 
( crippled the link):

ww.google.com.au/url?sa=t=j==s=web=1=rja=8=0ahUKEwimsKmOvL3QAhVEGJQKHZfjB-UQFggaMAA=http%3A%2F%2Fstaging.btvin.com%2F=AFQjCNEV3TjhrU5cVKWDbrekPApkUz-shw=bv.139250283,d.dGo
 

The body of the email starts out: 

"Dear costumer,
You recently requested a password reset for your Apple ID. To complete the 
process, click the link below.…”

If this really is from Google, I would really like to know why — it seems to me 
Google is getting far too big with tentacles into far too many things. I sent 
the information to Scamwatch.
