How to tell an official apple email

Hi,

Just received what appears to be a legit email from Apple Security

It says that my

"Apple Account has been temporarily locked until you can validate your Apple ID details."

I have 14 days before my account will remain locked.

should I respond to this?


Cheers, 1caj
