I received this notification this morning informing me that my Apple ID was used to sign in from a new web browser from ALBANIA.
"Your Apple ID has been temporarily disabled for security reason... you can go to iforgot.apple.com to unlock... Your Apple ID will permanently disabled (didn't use the word "be") if you do not verify your identity under 24 hours.
This is poorly written and adds to my suspicion. Suggestions?
Thanks
It’s fake. Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com as an attachment and then delete it.
If an Apple ID actually gets disabled, its owner will be told when they try logging into it instead of through email.

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.
Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
Forward it as an attachment to reportphishing@apple.com
Thank you so much! Will do. Have a great day!
Legit or Scam?
