Question

I got an email saying that my iCloud will be disabled

I got an email saying that my iCloud will be disabled (from Apple) but when I tapped on the email it was a bunch of random words, it said I have 24 hours to verify and I clicked on the link, I’m scared I’m going to get scammed, what do I do!? Or is this actually apple?

iPhone XR, iOS 13

Apple would not warn of a pending account issue, giving you a deadline to fix the issue.
Apple does not include document, or PDF files to download.
Apple would not refer to you as Dear Customer, Dear Client, or anything other than the name on file for your account.
Apple would not have such horrible spelling or grammar.
Apple would not send a message to “Undisclosed Recipients”.

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.

reportphishing@apple.com

If you provided your Apple ID and password at the bogus site, change your password immediately.

but I’ve already clicked on “verify account” and it brought me to YouTube for some reason, but it said “sorry nothings here” I didn’t give no account info or anything, am I safe or should I be worried!?
