I received an email saying my Apple ID is locked and will be deleted due to someone in Russia signing in on my acct... they want me to verify my identity and are asking me for SS

I received an email saying my Apple ID had been accessed in Russia and that I needed to verify my identity. I clicked a link that asked me for personally identifying info such as social security # and credit card# along with address phone etc. Is this a scam?

iPhone 8, iOS 12
