Email from Apple: Possible Scam?

I received the below email to my gmail account and am not quite sure what this is. I obviously never accessed my gmail account through Apple so this is perplexing. Is this a phishing or scam?


Thank you

This does not look like a genuine Apple email address to me. If you did not request an Account Recovery and your gmail address is not your primary Apple Account mail address, this is a scam.
