Received email supposedly from Apple Support stating …"Your Apple ID has been locked, We faced some problems on your recent acces account" then gives a CASE-ID#. Says to log in account through the "Go to Resolution Center" link in the email. Is this a legit Apple e-mail? Is there an Apple e-mail address I can forward a copy of the email to to verify it is indeed from Apple?
I don't seem to be having any problems using my Apple ID.
Thank you in advance for your input.
It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond to, or otherwise act on the email.

Thank you for the response. Appreciate your help.
Apple won't send you an email telling you your account is disabled. You will find out the next time you try to log in somewhere.
Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address. The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information such as Social Security numbers.
The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.
Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it. You can forward as an attachment by going to Mail/Message/Forward as attachment.
You’re quite welcome.
Thank you much. Appreciate your help and all the information.
You are welcome. Glad to help.
Apple e-mail...legit or not
