Good day,

Recently, I received an email supposedly from Apple stating that their records showed that I paid for a Radeongate repair (which I didn't, but I do have a Radeongate-affected MBP in which I reballed myself) and that I was to click a link (which redirected me to the Apple support site and a S/N input, then given the option for them to call me).

Naturally, I was suspicious. Upon further inspection of the sender's address, I'm suspecting that this may be a phishing attempt.

Anyway, hope this helps.

The sender's address, assuming it is not spoofed, has apple.com as its top most domain. That makes it a valid legitimate email.
