$100 gift card scam

Has anyone else received an email from Apple saying that your apple id was used to purchase a $100 gift card and to click link to cancel purchase? If you follow links it will take you a non-apple website that looks exactly like apple's and ask you to verify your apple id. Just me or is the community gettin hit?

Haven't seen not specifically about purchasing a gift cards (there are regular posts about apps or in-app purchases). If you still have the email you could forward it to Apple : reportphishing@apple.com , and then delete it.
