It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.

reportphishing@apple.com

If you provided your Apple ID and password at the bogus site, change your password immediately.

Fake. In any case, you would never want to respond to any email by clicking a link that says "Verify Your Account". The correct course of action would be to sign in to this account, or any such account that the email claims to be from, from a known internet address. Never rely on a link from an email or call a number that claims to be customer service.
