suspicious email from App store

I got an email from App store with bad grammar asking me to confirm a $66/month purchase within 24 hrs. When I click link to find out more it asks for apple ID and pwd. I forwarded the email to reportphishing@apple.com


Is there anything else I should do?

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015), iOS 12.1, null

More than suspicious, a phishing scam. If you forwarded it to reportphishing@apple.com and didn't enter your Apple ID and password, you're good. Just delete the email.

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.
