Does this sound like a fraudulent email "from apple"?

This email sounds very fraudulent and I did forward it to apple. What do you think? The link and the use of "using Apple" were flags for me.

it's nonsense, Apple does not send emails like this. Apple will also only address you with your given name; not "dear customer", "dear you@your email.com, or anything else.
