You will know if its an email from Apple if it says Dear and your first name right after. If this seems to be a real email from Apple, you've done all you need to do which is delete the email if you don't need it.


Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store - Apple Support


If it is fake, it will say something like "Dear Customer" "Dear Client"


Identify and report phishing emails and other suspicious messages - Apple Support


If you suspect it is fake, forward the email as an attachment to reportphishing@apple.com


Hope this helps you out and have a good afternoon 🙂
