No. They are not from Apple.

It's a phishing attempt. Do Not follow the links in the messages and do not provide the sender with any information.

To help identify these types of messages, see this:


If all you received was an email, it is very possible this is a phishing attempt to get your account details. Do not interact or click on any links in the email and see this. Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


Apple will not address you as Customer, they use your name provided when you created your Apple ID.


This will help identify legitimate emails from Apple, Identify legitimate emails from the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support
