Thanks.
Looks authentic, right?
Check the URL at the top of the page that loads when you clicked the link you posted (I asked the Hosts to remove it):
Tiger Landscaping... ok.
These "phishing" scams are easy to perpetrate. Be careful.
I got one this morning from do_not_reply@apple.com telling me that all my apps would be deleted from the app store if I don't verify.

Apple does not control the internet.

Every legitimate company in the world would love to stop spam and phishing attempts in their name. But with 7+ Billion people in the world, hundreds of millions of computers, some 196 national borders (depends who you ask how many nations there actually are) all with different laws, and an internet system that inherently freely roams actoss those borders, nationalities and nation's laws, it is simply impossible to stop someone from setting up a basement server and doing pretty much whatever they wish to. Even if you stop some of them in some countries, some other one pops up somewhere else - often in a country where the authorities truly have far more pressing issues than someone being bothered by some spam and really do not care about such relatively trivial things.
It is ridiculous to expect any one corporation to be able stop all spam and phishing emails originating from anywhere on the planet.
it was a joke.

For one....my name ISN'T Abdallah al zain, I never create an apple id simply becaue I don't have any apple products. Then I went to appleid.apple.com and tried to log in, but clicked on forgot password, so I was able to reset the password. After succesfully logging in with this id I could see the account info.....I checked the addresses and this is what I got:
Primary Address
Abdallah Al zain
Ghhh
Bbzjb
Dnzjbshnz
00966
Saudi Arabia
How is someone else able to create an Apple account with somebody else's email address??
Because that was not apple. It's a hacker. You should not have gone on that website. The email address that you used is now at risk if it was a real one.
I received an email from appleid@id.apple.com requesting that I verify my Apple ID and password. Is it legitmate?
