Absolutely it's a scam.
Real messages from Apple always address you by name, not 'Dear customer' or similar, and will come from the apple.com domain (though this can be forged).
Real messages from Apple are in grammatical English, not things like 'until we receive respond from you'.
And in any case Apple will never send you a message like this. If they ever have to lock your account for security reasons they won't contact you, they will wait for you to find out and contact them: and you will never be asked to 'verify' your account.
Obviously never follow links in this sort of email - or indeed in any email where you aren't completely sure of the sender (and that their address hasn't been forged).
You could forward this and similar emails to Apple as an email attachment, to reportphishing@apple.com
