It's phishing. Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com and then delete it.

A good thing to bear in mind, Apple will never initiate contact with you. The user needs to do something first to get e-mails. The only Apple initiated mail I've ever received was a notification of a class action lawsuit I could have been eligible to participate in. And that contained no links as I recall.

This is along the line of the daily e-mails I get from yahoo support (in its various forms) insisting that I need to verify my info of they'll shut down my account.
