Is this a scam?

I have received an email purporting to be from Apple, stating that my Apple ID will be locked due to my account having information missing, and that I should click on a link to verify my Apple ID. I am presuming this is a scam as the wording used in the email does not scan properly (ie wrong tense of words used). I have checked my Apple ID by logging in through my iPad settings and nothing seems to be different from previously. Can anyone confirm if this is a scam?

iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 11.4

Yes, it' a scam.

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.
