There is no way apple or any other company would ask for your SS#. The email is a phishing email. Delete it.

This is not from Apple. It is phishing. Do not reply. Do NOT give them any information.

If you wish you can report it to Apple:
forward the email to Apple at reportphishing@apple.com

then delete it.
