Hi, I have been receiving email from Apple informing me that my account has been locked due to unauthorized login attempt. Sounds kinda fishy! How do I contact Apple team to verify if this email is genuine or a scam?

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.
If you provided your Apple ID and password at the bogus site, change your password immediately.

The email is a scam. Please see:
Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204759
If you think your Apple ID has been compromised: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204145
The first one, besides providing scam related info, indicates how you can report incidents to Apple.
And finally, keep an eye on the grammar, if you keep seeing these messages. Apple likes keeping a clean grammar style, as seen here. Misplaced commas? There isn’t a company called Apple ID... What’s with that capitalization? Keep a good eye on the email.
Thank you so much!
