I received a strange email.

I received an email allegedly from Apple support, saying someone from -inserted IP address- tried to log in to my account. They included a “verify account” which I did not click. I checked the sender and it was a really long, fake looking email that I doubt was actually Apple. This is the email:

Your Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons.

Someone just tried to log into your Apple account from a different location.

Country : Lao, People's Democratic Republic

Browser : Safari

Operating System : Windows 8

We need to verify your identity today or your account will be locked because of the concerns we have for the safety and integrity of the Apple community.

To verify your identity, we recommend that you go to

Regards,

Apple Support.

It's a phishing email (iTunes doesn't send emails saying accounts have been disabled, the link isn't Apple etc.), you could forward it to Apple : reportphishing@apple.com , and then delete it.
