Apple ID disabled - scam

Received this email this morning - and it looks legit:

From: ****

Subject: Your Apple ID was Disabled.

Date: November 10, 2013 4:51:22 AM CST

-----------

Your Apple ID (****) was used to sign in from another IP Address
Please verify your identity today or your account will be disabled due to concerns we have for the safety and integrity of the Apple Community.

But I was able to sign in here ... when you click on the "sign in" here is the address:

http://appleid-apple.co.uk.support.appleid.manage.id15.nammech.com.au/uk/?cgi-bi n/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/directToSignIn

So how do yo know if it is legitimate?

I would be suspicious of that email also. That URL appears odd to me. I would go here: https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action and follow the "Other Apple ID Topics". At least you know by going to this URL you are going to Apple.
