This one wants you to click on the order details link, which I have removed, but if you look at the “Order Details” link more closely, you will see that it doesn’t go to the apple store but links to some place called goofbomb. I don’t feel like testing out my anti-virus or risk getting a 0-day virus or some malware, let’s just assume it’s a bad place. So keep your eyes out for this and other e-mails that claim you have purchased something, or missed a delivery, and gives you a link to your “order” or has an attachment for you to open. Quite a few of these going around these days.
