Must go out now but will be back for lunch.

I've done nothing about the email warning.

Sounds dodgy.
don't click on the link at all. If you are worried you can always change your password by logging into your own Apple account and changing it there.

It sounds like a scam,so I would just delete it

Sounds like a scam to me too. As Linda says, I'd just delete it.

Thanks Linda and Kathleen.

I have left it alone but will find a telephone number for Apple and let them know (if they aren't aware already).

Disconnect it from the Internet ( remove ethernet cable switch off wifi if in use)
