Questionable emails

I am continually receiving emails stating that my Apple ID account has been locked. I suspect that these emails are not from Apple. Additionally, my account does not appear to be Locked. In these emails there is a link that supposedly takes me to some sort of sign in page. I have not used the link. I am getting these emails almost daily and sometimes two a day.

First... Are they in fact bogus?

Second ... What can I do about them, if anything?

Apple does not send such messages.
Apple does not include document, or PDF files to download.
Apple would not refer to you as Dear Customer, Dear Client, or anything other than the name on file for your account.
Apple would not have such horrible spelling or grammar.
Apple would not send a message to “Undisclosed Recipients”.

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.
