Fake email from apple. appleidsecure@login.com

I Got today what seems to be fake email from _apple where was writing that my security question was changed and if I haven't done it I should contact support. And the link below where I had to log in to my id and then it was asking me to put my name and address and next it was asking me for my credit card. at the point it ask me for credit card I realized that it should be fake and tried to press any other tab on site, which was not possible... imidiatly I changed my password for my ID, so should not have problem. But be aware. Below is screenshot of the email.

iPad, iOS 10

"seems to be"?? It's a million percent scam, fake, phishing email. Delete it.

It is fair to assume that they now have your Apple ID, name and address. Be ready for the next wave of spam/scam email directed at you. It may be more convincing because they know your name and Apple ID now.

Here's the rule:

NEVER follow links in an email. It does NOT matter if the mail is real (from Apple) or fake (phishing). NEVER EVER follow links in an email.
