what happens when you hover over the link?  That will show up the link where you go to get scammed.  

Yes, I did that - all looks convincing, but for the url at the top.

Why not give them a call ? http://www.excellenceindesign.ca/

Scam for sure. 

Any legitimate mail like this would be addressed 'Dear Hugh...' or something similar. If that blurry blue mess is your email address it's phishing, without any doubt.

It's not the usual message you get when Apple detect you logging in from elsewhere. For a start, they usually tell you where you are e.g. We notice you tried to log in from Smalltown, Indiana. Definitely a scam
I don't know anything about apple but the wording doesn't quite ring true. Just not quite right. And if "excellenceindesign" is not an apple thing then definitely dodge!

I have had something along those lines in the past when I have been overseas, if memory serves.

If in doubt, go to the Apple site and log in independently of the link and contact Apple to find out if it is legit. Have you tried to use your Apple account away from home???

Well, I received the same email even though I've never had an Apple ID (or an Apple) in my life.

Thanks folks

Hugh

Almost certainly this is a scam.

But you and others might like to know about a very neat attempt I encountered recently. The originating web address turned out to be an apparantly genuine business in the USA. I went on to it and it seemed ok, if more or less dormant. But the link in the email was "(address)/clients", and when I tried to go to that part of the site my security software got very cross at encountering a trojan.

My guess is that the crooks found a genuine, but little used, site, hacked into it & introduced their malware.

So it could be that you have the same or similar here.
