Legit or Scam?

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 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.
