Yes
It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message to Apple.

No, it's a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details (emails from Apple tend to be personalised e.g. have something like 'dear name'). Forward it to Apple : reportphishing@apple.com , and then delete it.

I think this one is from Apple.
The links in the email show as http://amspecial.com
Nope. Check the "iforgot" link. It goes to amspecial.com
