Dear Customer

Your Apple ID will be disabled because of some violated policies

The following changes to your Apple ID were made on

Date and Time: August 12, 2019

We have noticed that your account information appears to be invalid

and unverified.

We need to verify your account information in order for you to keep continue using your Apple ID account

You need to sign and verify it as soon as possible, you should do this soon because disabled accounts are eventually deleted along emails, iCloud, and other data stored with Apple

You should change your password as soon as possible from your Apple ID account page at (link)

Apple will never refer to you as Dear Customer.

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.

reportphishing@apple.com

The link below has information to help identify fraudulent emails.

No it's a scam ignore and delete. Apple if they did send you an email would address you by your name.

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