"Your replacement product is ready for pickup."

I received this email Thursday afternoon, June 2. From donotreply@apple.com.

Initially, I thought it was some phishing scam but a quick search did not yield any glaring story out there. The email doesn't ask for any information and doesn't try to persuade you to click on anything.

A search for the phone number brings us to this place in Dedham, MA.

So... what's the gag here?

I've lost a few iPods, years ago. Could one of them have landed in Massachusetts? Still, somehow, linked to me?

ZOMG! You should totally call them and tell them that whoever brought it in stole your ipod! (well, they may not have stolen it, or known it was stolen, but someone must pay, even if it's an innocent)

Well, I guess only if your ipod was somehow tied to you email address, which it would be through itunes. hmm..interesting, don't know what happens when a device gets registered to a different itunes account...I'd be curious to see what they say if you call them up...
