That is a Phishing Scam:

Apple will not eMail you such a message. Look at the domain in the link provided. It contains nothing of apple.com. So, perform the following in the order provided:

1. Report This:

So, report it. To do so: Forward that screenshot to Apple at: reportphishing@apple.com. Once forwarded, delete the eMail, and then remove it from your Trash and Archived folders.


2. Block Out the Sender:

Once reported, block the sender.


3. Modifying your Credentials:
