Suspicious Apple Email

So I got this today and usually when my account is disabled I can't even update anything. Lo and behold I could update an app with no problem. And seeing how I haven't gotten another like this (cause how can I get a reminder when I never received an initial email saying it's disabled and I check it every day?) this is screaming scam using Apple's name by a-hole jerks. Figured I'd warn others and give Apple a heads up so they can nip this before whoever did it succees.
