billing problem email

I received an email that looks like it is from Apple, but I want to be certain. It has the following text with a button that says FIX VISA

I confirmed with an Apple customer service representative just this morning that it is a phishing scam. The Apple representative said that they have had multiple reports of these types of emails this week, and that the scammers are getting very sophisticated in their ability to impersonate Apple and other companies.

Anyone who is continuing to say otherwise is just part of the scam.

I would advise anyone else who gets these emails to contact Apple directly via chat or call to get independent confirmation or just forward the email to reportphishing@apple.com
