Q: Phishing report?

I believe I have encountered a phishing message. Snapshot included. A very convincing looking website but I could not believe Apple would tag its own messages like an 80-year-old.

Did make the right choice? Has anybody else encountered this particular scam?

iPhone 4, iOS 9.3.4

I already read all of those articles. But this is in Messages, so it's not an email. Wouldn't the method for such an issue be different for a message on iOS than for an email?

It is a scam message designed to trick you into revealing your login credentials.

If you know your iCloud account isn't frozen then just delete the message.

I know that it isn't, and I already deleted it. I was just wondering whether anybody else had received a similar message.
