The email and corresponding PDF in question has links in them that are very likely to web pages mimicking apple support in order to phish for personal info, credit/debit card info, etc. I wouldn't dare clink on the links since it's an obvious fake to me, but someone who is less aware may fall for this scam.

I know that this is a fake notification, mainly from the misspelled words and from where the email come from at support.apple@mantabbagus.com. I wanted to post this so that other users are given a heads up on this scam email that's floating around. I'll attach pics of the email and PDF link in question. Hopefully, apple can do something to shut down those responsible for it.
