Rec'd an email from "AppID Report" that my id was used to sign into a new browser in Japan earlier today.

The email said if I did not verify my identity within 24 hours, my Apple ID would be permanently disabled.

I realize this may be a phishing scam, but what should I do ?

NOTHING I assume, but just checking.

Regards

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.

Apple won't send you an email/text telling you your account is disabled. You will find out the next time you try to log in somewhere.
