Possible scam, please verify. I received an email stating my Apple ID has been locked. The email proceeded to tell me to update all info. Can you verify the validity of this email?

It’s not. Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com as an attachment and then delete it.

If an Apple ID actually gets locked or disabled, the owner will be told when they try logging into it instead of through email.
