Email - Phishing

I got an email from Apple, referencing an ongoing buy and requesting that I check it. I tapped on the connection and my program went to Apple's site, yet something didn't appear to be very right. I halted a minute to think: I had made a buy online from Apple the earlier day, however the email didn't reference the particular thing. I dropped off the site and investigated the email. I floated my cursor over the connection and beyond any doubt enough, it didn't specify Apple in the connection. This is super-regular - phishing messages intended to motivate you to go to some official-looking however false site (like the Apple site I'd thought I was on) and enter in your certifications which at that point give the programmer free access to your online record.
