Absolutely it's a scam. DO NOT follow any links. You can report to Apple, if you like, by forwarding it as an email attachment to reportphishing@apple.com


All emails from Apple will come from apple.com (though this can be forged) and will address you by name, not 'Dear Customer' or the like. Apple will never ask you to verify your information not tell you your account will be locked if you don't follow a link. If Apple do have to lock your ID for security reasons they won't tell you; they will wait for you to find out and contact them yourself.
