Fake Apple Support?

I received an email from the address "-***@appleid.com" in my junk mail box. Is this a fake apple support account?

Yes. Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com as an attachment and then delete it.

Yes, its very very fake. appleid.com is not a valid Apple domain, and Apple will never address you as dear customer.

They also don't send emails when your Apple ID is disabled.
