It's fake. Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com as an attachment and then delete it.


If an Apple ID actually gets locked or disabled, its owner will be told when they try logging into it instead of through email. Apple also only asks customers for their SSN if they're setting up Apple Pay Cash.
