Please respond as soon as possible...I'm afraid of scam but also of possibly being locked out of my account!

Yes, that is most definitely a thief who is attempting to steal your Apple ID credentials. Do NOT, respond, or download any attachments.

Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support will help you identify Phishing attempts, and also provides a link to report the scam.

• 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(s), Dear Client(s), 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.

reportphishing@apple.com

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