Scam (receipt for purchase of game)

Today I received the following email from “Apple Support”, however, upon looking at the address it is from payment-here-alone38723932@automaticmailsupportconfirm.com. I know I did not make the purchase and when looking at the App Store indeed no reflection of purchase made. Evidently this scam artist includes docx file that requests one enter there Apple ID (obviously I did not).
