Scam. Send to reportphishing@apple.com via Message menu : Forward as Attachment. No commentary is needed in the message body — just the scam email attachment. Then, Message menu : Mark : As Junk Mail. Delete.

The real Apple would not need to verify that it is you by having you click on a link to reveal your account ID and password, or call a fake support number. I have seen messages purporting to be from Apple that were amazingly real looking, but the mail address of the sender was decidely not from @apple.com.
