You are correct. It is a scam. Apple will never send you emails/messages such as the one that you have received. The purpose of that message is to get you to download and possible purchase a useless service.
You have uninstalled the app and you should be fine if you were not led to a website to enter any of your credentials such as your Apple ID / Password etc.
