Account Suspended

I received an email from apple support saying that my account has been suspended for security reasons. I can update it by clicking on its link. How do I know that it’s real?

iPhone 8, iOS 12

It's not, accounts don't get 'suspended', and Apple only sends emails about accounts being locked or disabled if you had contacted them and it's a reply - you could forward it to Apple : reportphishing@apple.com , and then delete it.
