Hap this email from "Apple"

Obviously it's not from Apple, but just everyone be aware if it's doing the rounds.....

If you were to click the link in the email it attempts to run a script of some sort so it could be quite nasty....

Yeas, just the one email. It was in my spam box too but thought it best to flag it just in case anyone fell for the "Apple" connection......
