Email from Apple saying my ID is locked

It seems bogus since I’ve been using various apps requiring my Apple ID and not had an issue. I wonder if it is spamming me to get my ID and then steal financial stuff. I don’t want to go thru the possible bogus email to reset or unlock my Apple ID. Has anyone else gotten an email like this? See att pic

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.
