Scam email or real

hello,

i received this email I attached below. I wanted to know if it was a scam of an email or if it was Apple support? Seemed like an unusual email address so I just wanted to verify, because I would like to know if someone really did try to log into my account. Thank you.

Scam! Apple does not send email if your account is locked. In a message Apple will always address you by your real name, never by your email address or Dear Customer. Also the sent-from address should be @apple.com or @itunes.com Additionally Apple does not send attachments.
