It’s a scam.

Simply block, report and delete the message.


Many scammers spoof email addresses, so the sender you are blocking could be unaffected by your actions.


Important:
If you receive a suspicious email or SMS text message that looks like it’s supposed to be from Apple, please email it to reportphishing@apple.com.
