Most definitely, without a doubt a Phishing email. Read: Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support for verification/reporting details.

This seems like a completely fake email - I would not open any attachments and delete the email completely. You may always verify with Apple but I highly doubt you would be on as blind cc. Whats the sender email?

Its Domain is Purely Fraudulent:

Using an iPhone, holding down on the active link “Verify Now” provided, I can see it leads to nothing of Apple. It’s just a bunch of hexadecimal characters followed by “.com”

Do Your Part:

Forward this fraudulent eMail to Apple via the following eMail address: reportphishing@apple.com

The more Apple hears about this, the more Apple will know what is going on.
