suspicious email

I received an email from iCloud ID saying that my iCloud ID has been locked today for security reasons. It says if I do not respond within 12 hours of the email my iCloud ID will be suspended and I will no longer be able to access. It then tells me to verify my account.


Is this a genuine email or is it spam please?


Thank you for your help
