Fake. Those messages are from someone that has your phone, and attempting to steal your Apple ID and password.
Thanks for confirming my thoughts
You are welcome.
You may see a similar type message from "Police". That's another favorite among the bad guys (and girls).
Yes I've had that one also sent a cpl of times this week I'm ignoring them now
