In App Purchase

I purchased some gold bars from candy crush because I was struggling with the level and received a notification/email which I’ll show. I’ve done this before and didn’t receive the notification/email but just wanted to make sure it ain’t anything unusual.

Looks fishy to me. I see some errors in the email itself. Apple usually addresses you with your complete name and not your first name only. Apart from that "in-App Purchase" is incorrectly typed. Apple's emails are flawless when it comes to that.


Most likey this is a phishing email. If you an attachment in the email, don't open it. Chances are, it has a link that will only open up to what appears to be a legit Apple website when it's not.
