Avoiding Scam eMails:

Apple's not going to just send you an eMail about needing to set up or fix your account.

Go Here: Avoid Phishing eMails, Fake 'Virus' Alerts, Phony Support Calls, and Other Scams - Apple Support

If you have clicked anything, consider....

• Modifying your login credentials (Using Both a New eMail and a New Password for each and all sites)
• Associating a different method of payment to your account
• Enabling Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID and for all other accounts that have such an applicable option

If nothing was clicked, you should be fine

Report this:

To Apple and Others:

Have a Screenshot of this? Forward a screenshot of this as an attachment to Apple using this eMail address: reportphishing@apple.com. In the comments pane, inform Apple of what the attachment is all about: an eMail containing an attachment of a phishing scam. You can also report this to the FTC. Use my User Tip: Using the Photos App to Report Scams: - User Tips

Is there a scan going on?

There are often scams coming and going, where an eMail may appear to be from Apple, yet is fake:

eg: says:

"If you received a suspicious email, please forward it to reportphishing@apple.com."
