Email scam?

I recently have acquired three emails stating that my Apple ID has been used to purchase three separate apps. The emails are set up oddly and are suspicious. I do not have my debit card synced to my account so I did not pay for these apps however it says my Apple ID was used.

In a message Apple will always address you by your real name, never by your email address or Dear Customer. Also the sent-from address should be @apple.com or @itunes.com Additionally Apple does not send attachments.
