Invoice mail from Apple - Phishing scam ?

Question

Invoice mail from Apple - Phishing scam ?

Hello Apple community,

I received this morning an e-mail from Apple :

The weird thing is : I never purchased such a thing and I don't even recall having an iTunes/Apple account (before creating one to post this topic) at all ! Furthermore, I don't get why this is billed to my e-mail address (hidden by the black mark on the screenshot) and the currency is expressed in pounds ; I'm from Belgium so I guess the bill should be expressed in euros. On top of that, my e-mail client directly stored that e-mail in the spam inbox.

What do you think ? What should I do ?

Thanks for your time.

Looks like a apple one, but that is a expensive song! Would contact Apple support - can do a online chat with one of the iTunes team who can verify and confirm https://getsupport.apple.com/

Just wouldnt click anything in the email just incase...

It doesn't make much sense, considering I don't have an iPhone and this expensive song has been purchased from "Oyinlola's iPhone".

I'll try to contact Apple services directly. Thank you.
