Hi, I received an email from qjcvyrp@qjcvyr.apple.com saying that my Apple ID has been locked for security reasons. I want to know is tjis really Apple that is sending me this email? The email address looks abit odd.

Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/HT201679 - lacking in specifics, the next link is better:

Forward attempts as an attachment to: reportphishing@apple.com

Apple e-mails address you by your real name, not something like "Dear Customer" or "Dear Client".

Apple e-mails originate from @apple.com or @itunes.com but I think it is easy to spoof a sender address

Mouse over (do not click) links to see if they direct to real Apple web sites.

You might want to consider a name change and implementing 2 Factor Authentication.

Besides changing password, is there anything else i should change?

No, but expect to see an increase in spam now that they have a verified email address.

It is spam

Yes. If someone's Apple ID actually gets disabled, they'll be told when they try logging into it instead of through email.

Hi. It’s a spam. That you clicked and saw the wierd id says it all. Very common where they can get into your account. Never click on such a link but good ida to change your password!

Changing your passwords would be a good place to start.

If you supplied any other personal information there, consider it compromised. Otherwise, no.

The only thing I can think of is if somebody sits there and tries the old password you provided and does it too many times you may get that message for real this time.
