iMessage Scam?

I received an iMessage this morning that said: "Apple Store: Good news! Items in order W577282711 have shipped and will deliver by Oct 26, 2018. For more info: https://www.apple.com.s.al7u6w6i0N"


Is this a genuine apple text message? It was sent from info@orders.apple.com.


Dumb me did click the link this morning as I saw it right when I woke up and it appeared to take you to the real apple.com website. I logged in the apple site on another device, not for the link, and checked my account to see my purchase history and nothing. I also went in and changed my PW, but am still confused if it is legit or not.

It is phishing. 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.
