I can not verify my Apple ID

Guys,


I received an email asking me to verify my Apple ID.

I tried but got the result 'ID Not Verified' with a link 'Contact support'.

Could you help me check the reason why I can not pass verification?

Thanks.


Best Regards

Jacky

Compare your email with the things Eric Root says about emails from Apple below. If it compares unfavorably, then the email was a scam.
