Yes. Apple will not ask you if you purchased an item.

I. Report it to Apple:

Send it to: reportphishing@apple.com
Remove eMail from Trash and from Archive folders

II. Modify Credentials:

Did you click on anything? If so, consider modifying your credentials:

Modify: your login credentials (Using Both a New eMail and a New Password for each and all sites)
