It's a scam. If you provided any login information, change your password immediately. Otherwise just delete it and move on OR forward it to reportphishing@apple.com <--- that address is the official way to report spam or fraudulent emails to Apple. See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204759

I did! Just went through the first bit of logging in. I have changed all my passwords and everything though. Almost immediately after. I hope there’s not much possessed threat to it 😕

I realized. But I did put in the login information for my Apple ID. But I changed my passwords and everything immediately after. Hope not much threat to that ? 😕
