Its probably a scam. Apple never sends those types of emails out. They have other ways of letting you know when that happens.


Make sure the email is actually coming from Apple:

You are sure that it’s a genuine email from Apple and not a phishing attempt trying to get your account and payment details ? Is the email addressed t you by name ? Apple doesn't send emails about accounts being locked except in reply.
