Go to Apple ID ( < link to tap )

A­p­p­l­e S­u­p­p­o­r­t

Type contains  different  I in  ID and in regain

Looks like a genuine email from apple, complete with logos. Apart from italics in ID and regain 

[Clementino]

It's phishing. In a message Apple will always address you by your real name, never by your email address or Dear Customer. Apple will never threaten to lock ..

 

[barry1010]

Easy to verify though. Just log in that email account the same way you usually do

It's a scam. Just ignore it. By saying you will be permanently locked out, they are frightening you into entering your details. 

[CrapatCryptics2]

110% scam

[Clementino]

Sorry if my link did not open properly, but it was confirming the message you received was a scam

[10ClarionSt]

Especially if you do n't have an Apple device!

[Old_Geezer]

In any case such as this, if you have any doubt, ignore links and addresses in the e-mail and, as Barry says, check all is ok with any account you actually have the way you would normally access it.

 

But yeah, reeks of scam to me.

[mjwman]

Scam. Just note the poor English. "It's" for an example. That just would not be used.

I did not say would'nt and did'nt for instance.

Had similar purporting to be from talktalk today.

Additional clues - they only use your email name not any other name/account number/postcode that a genuine sender might have.

The sender's email address will be summat weird - the one I had was from "<[email protected]>. Obviously NOT talktalk!
