Apple ID Notice From App,e

I received an email today saying that my Apple ID was locked due to security reasons. A detected sign-in from an unknown device & unusual activity from my account.

I have 24 hrs to verify my identity or my account will be disabled due to concerns for the safety’s &integrity of the App,e Community. A link has been provided. Signed ‘Apple’.

is this a legitimate email from Apple?

Apple does not send such messages.
Apple would not warn of a pending account issue, giving you a deadline to fix the issue.
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.
