Apple ID locked emails

I keep receiving emails that say my Apple ID has been locked or will be locked and to click on a link to protect it. I have not but how do I make sure my ID has not been compromised? Thanks

iPhone 6, iOS 11.2.5

To verify that your ID is not locked, you can go to iCloud.com and login with your credentials. You were also able to login to this site which required you to use your credentials.


Use: Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support to verify that the emails are Phishing for your credentials. The link also contains reporting suggestions.
