As a sender it says: Apple Support

The email address being: Y6TXtM8UB7WUM1n-r5SNDURG8xVj6Et7@cq0ajmje-86074497.id

It's an obvious phishing email (addressing you as 'dear customer' when iTunes knows your name from the account ; poor English etc.) - you could forward it to Apple : reportphishing@apple.com , and then delete it.
