Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Dear Sir/ Madam
I have received this email today. Honestly I'm concerned, about the message. Have you send me this message or is some kind of scam? I signed in my personal information and now I am afraid I might end up without my apple account. Looking forward to your answer soon.
I am attaching the screenshot from the message.

FYI: These are user-only forums. This is not Apple Support. if you need to contact Apple Support, then contact product and tech support: ➔ Contacting Apple for support and service including international calling numbers.
Having stated the above and as a fellow user of this community, I have to inform that the email message that you posted is a scam. That link that you clicked on does not exist anymore. It was probably reported and taken down. You said that you entered your personal information after you used that link. I recommend that you change your Apple ID password immediately. That will guard you against anyone else logging in with your compromised credentials. On your iPhone, open Settings ➔ Apple ID (Your Name at Top) ➔ Password & Security ➔ Change Password.

Three Things:
A. Report this to Apple:
See my User Tip: Using the Photos App to Report Scams: - User Tip
B. Consider Modifing your Credentials:
Being suspicious of fraud, consider modifying your credentials, ASAP, starting with a new password.
and...
C. What is Safe to Use:
Use Malwarebytes Mobile Security: The free version blocks popups. The paid version blocks out known spam numbers. So, consider using it. It is made by long time users of these forums, making it the only reliable security software for an iPhone. Read the following post to see how to use this software: Blocked numbers - Apple Community

It is a scam.
If you clicked the link and entered your information, you just gave it to thieves.
Immediately change your Apple ID password:
