Just received an email that says "your Apple ID has been temporarily locked for security reasons"
To verify my identity among other things they are asking for my SS# and credit card #.
Hard to believe but according to the email I only have 24 hours to act or have my Apple ID permanently locked!!!
I don't remember giving Apple my SS# (but could be wrong).
My question is (obviously) is this a legitimate email from Apple?
iPhone 7, iOS 11.4, Questionable email
It's a scam. Do not reply.
In a message Apple will always address you by your real name, never by your email address or Dear Customer. Also the sent-from address should be @apple.com or @itunes.com Additionally Apple does not send attachments. And never asks your SS#.

Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com
