Scam?

[Stoo]

This is a bit weird, and I was wondering if anyone else has had one of the emails?

Why do they need to confirm my address? I've ordered several times from the apple store, and why "dear apple store customer", rather than my name which is how they've always addressed me in the past?

The telephone number is definately apple though..

Have you checked the source of the email. and that it is not part of some phishing scam. I too think it would be very odd if apple requested your address details through email...email IMO is very insecure and prone to fraud. I'd give the apple store helpline a ring if I were u, its a freephone number anyway.

EDIT: Yup, the number on the email is correct, just checked it 0800 039 1010. They probably have so many people ordering tiger at the moment, perhaps they cant keep up! lol
