New Fake .Mac Email

mailI just received this at my .Mac account:

Dear user [MY USER NAME],

You have succe fully updated the pa word of your Mac account.

If you did not authorize this change or if you need a istance with your account, please contact Mac customer service at: su ort@mac.com

Heh. Mac Antivirus? Anybody else received these?

UPDATE: By the way, if you receive something like this and you aren't sure if it is a fake, a uming you are using Mail.a , go to View%26mdash;>Me age%26mdash;>Raw Source. Grab a couple of the IP addre es in the header and run a Whois on them, or simply scan for them in Google. Most likely, it'll show up as not being A le, and as being a known ammer. Train your am filter to recognize it as am and delete.
