See the info below for steps to help identify bogus emails.
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.

Can we assume you are NOT the same person that started this thread?
If that is the case, use the info in my initial post to change your Apple ID password.
Also a scam. If you have not responded to the message, there is no harm. Simply delete it, then read the various Apple articles linked above.
This is the email
I received this PDF Attached to that email too..😣
What did the email say. If it addressed to "Dear Customer" or something similar, it is probably a scam, phishing email. Can you take a screen shot of the email message and post it?
Definitely a scam email. Simply delete it.
Okay, thank you so much! 🙏🏼
You’re quite welcome.
Stay alert for such messages, as the scammers are always trying new things to steal our personal and financial information.
It s the 1st time when it happening. I don t have any financial information on the app store. The thing that scared me, was the email from APPLE, which means it s something serious..
I opened the link which took me to a legit looking Apple support page where I entered username and password
If you keep an eye out for the clues, you’ll be fine.
Bad spelling.
Bad grammar.
Bad punctuation.
Referring to you as Dear Customer.
An incorrect name and address on the receipt.
I didn t receive any links in that email.. i just started to search for Apple support and i found this page.
Go to apple.com right now and change your Apple ID password. I made the same mistake recently.
