suspicious phishing mail

Question

suspicious phishing mail

I received an email from icloud@cloudinspection.info titled "Your Apple Technical" Subject "Apple Profile Frozen - it said that I have an apple ID under a valid email (ie one that I use) but not an email I use for Apple/itunes/icloud. I entered my initial password which then prompted me to enter a number of other details. I stopped there. Could you let me know if this is indeed a scam? I instantly changed my password to my itunes account but I'm nervous that they might have gotten into the account in the mean time.

Any advice?

It's phishing.

Please forward that email to: reportphishing@apple.com

Never reply to an email from: "Your AppleCare support center" or "Your Apple Technical", they are trying to hack your Apple iD.

Apple will never send you an email asking you to verify your Apple ID credentials.
