I received an email supposedly from Apple stating my Apple ID has been locked

I received an email supposedly from Apple stating my Apple ID has been locked for security reasons. To unlock I must verify my identity. When I hit the unlock account in the email it sends me to an address -qurygoremittapulsa28*.*** and asks for all my personal info including SS#

is this legit?

No. Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com as an attachment and then delete it.


If an Apple ID actually gets locked, its owner will be told when they try logging into it instead of through email.
