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.

reportphishing@apple.com

The link below has information to help identify fraudulent emails.

It's a hoax. There is no such thing as 'KYC'. Never follow links in any such email or give them any information - they are trying to access your details.

All emails from Apple will be addressed to you by name, not 'Dear Customer' or similar, and will always come from the apple.com domain. The link you quote plainly goes to a non-Apple address.
