Apparently they think that I'm a costumer (a person or company that makes or supplies theatrical or fancy-dress costumes).
We've had a couple of similar mails. The link takes you to what looks like a legit apple page. It's quite good. No typos, I'm pretty sure that the embedded links within that page take one to genuine apple services. But, the page you go to wants all the normal guff (log on, Apple ID etc) plus the credit card details you use at the apple store (itunes, in this case.)
Total scam. Apple were quite interested in it. We also reported the scam to the police cybercrime unit. The cop welcomed the report, but admitted there probably wasn't a lot they could do.
