Just got a strange one tune up, if you will excuse the pun.
E-mail from iTunes store showing an invoice for xx amount of pounds for music membership from sono"s iphone, now personally I dislike the whole Apple cult thing, and I certainly have not purchased anything from I-tunes or any other similar location, and I quote "To cancel your purchase within 14 days of receiving this invoice, go to Cancel and Manage Subscriptions
Learn more about your right of withdrawal"

This is a new one to me so as I have not requested this, is it necessary to go the "Cancel and Manage" bit of the e-mail to sort it out or can I safely ignore it.

It's a phishing scam designed to get your itunes account details (which you don't have anyway)
Safe to ignore.

Scam mail, I've had a few of these lately. Latest one tells me i've renewed a Netflix subscription I've never had. Clicking manage / Cancel then takes me to a page asking me to confirm my Outlook password..

Yeah I have had a few as well - another one I have had recently is that purchases are being made onto a device I don't recognise.

I just keep an eye on my bank account just in case and nothing ever happens

I had the same thing a couple of weeks ago and I don't have any Apple products. You would have thought the people trying this on would know if your email was connected to an Apple account or not.

They don't need to. They work on probability.
If you don't have an Apple account ten others probably will.

^^ this.

Costs them nothing to send out thousands of speculative emails.
