Are emails from the following "apple" addresses valid apple emails?

I've gotten 2 emails seemingly from Apple, but I have not interacted with Apple in years. Are these valid email addresses? Maybe the email was sent to me in error?

updatez@store.appleid.com-customers-payment-receiptments.visaprepaidprocessing.com
service@mail.appleid.com-customers-purchase-cancelation.fullscript.com

I forwarded them to the spoof and phishing email addresses for Apple, but I'm just wondering if these got sent to me in error.

No, they were not sent in error, and are only poor attempts at enticing you to believe that they are valid.

Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support will confirm.

No they are not valid email address. Look at the word updatez in the first address. That’s a dead giveaway. Apple will always address you by name as well. Not by Customer or Dear Customer, so if they weren’t specifically sent that way, that’s another way of knowing,
