Suspended apple id
I have received an email to say my Apple ID is suspended because it has been used by other apple devises. It requires me to verify my account Within 24hrs or it will be deleted . Is this a scam? I’m afraid to act on it !

It is a well-known scam.
Is it possible that you gave your Apple ID password to the scammer? If yes, then
Change your Apple ID password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201355
Here is What to do after you change your Apple ID or password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071
If you are sure you did not give the scammer you password, then you don't need to do anything.
Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address. The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple emails won't have poor grammar/misspellings. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information by email such as Social Security numbers, your Mother’s maiden name or full credit card numbers .
The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.
