I am being told that i will be locked out of my acct. and that i should open appleid.apple.***, but the email sent to me comes from something calling itself thankmasih-mailaccount-repportstireo** and is addressed to kuku-**reply@apple.info. The subject line also shows a case number --Am I being scammed?
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.

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