Anyone else get an email for a Netflix Monthly Membership (2 month) subscription confirmation from The Apple Store team?

Apple ID sa@l.com (I removed my email address in this copy of the email)

You’ve purchased the following subscription with a 2 month:

I don't have any purchases in my iTunes account. I've checked my Netflix account and the card I pay my Netflix subscription with and there is no such purchase showing.

I'm assuming at this point it's a scam/phishing email but want to know if others are receiving it, and if I should be reporting it somewhere to Apple

It is phishing. Do not respond to the email message.

Yeah, as stedman indicated it is a phishing attempt. One glaring clue is the sentence:

The subscription period will automatically renew unless you turn it off no letter than 48 hours before the end of the current period. To cancel auto-renewal or manage your subscriptions, click below and sign in.

"no letter"? OMG....
