Phishing scam?? Your Apple ID was signed in to iCloud via a web browser

This clearly has to be a phishing scam.

I received an email yesterday telling me if I have not signed in and believe my account may have been recently accessed by someone else, click the following link within 24 hours before locked permanently.

Can someone please verify for everyone who is experiencing this for closure. Thanks.

iPhone, Windows 6

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.

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