Jul 28, 2016 11:58 AMby elcpu,OK, my good croc friend. Yes, the OP's email is a scam because it asked for info but Apple does use emails to contact us. I got this one yesterday and it was legit.
Dear (friend of macjack) Your Apple ID (xxxx@xxxx.net ) was used to sign in to iCloud via a web browser. Date and Time: July 27, 2016, 10:57 PM CDT
Browser: Chrome
If the information above looks familiar, you can disregard this email. If you have not signed in to iCloud recently and believe someone may have accessed your account, go to Apple ID ( https://appleid.apple.com ) and change your password as soon as possible. Apple Support

Lest we forget how clever these nefarious folks can be...
They can craft an email that "looks" much like yours (and mine below) - but a real Apple email will "cookie cutter" (verbatim except for "merged info") and look exactly like this - note that the "FROM" is accurately displayed, but that can be spoofed in this view, but not in the Full Header

Then delete with prejudice!
