How to tell if an email from Apple is a scam?

"Scam?: I received this email a few minutes ago and I’m wondering if it’s real or not as when I looked at the sender, pictured as well, it says it came from an iCloud email address instead of customer support. Can you help me please? Thanks"

Thank you for the photo.

That is a scam. Apple wouldn't send you an email right off the bat about this. So, what happens when you open iTunes, TV, or Music? Does it play just fine? If so, then it is obviously not disabled.

So, Secure your Info:

If concerned for device access, then (A)verify your devices, and (B)secure your account. Open a new eMail addressee d use that for your Apple ID.

1. Verify your Devices:

Verify that all devices are logged in to your account, by using this link: Check your Apple ID Device List to See where you're Signed in - Apple Support

then...

2. Modify your Credentials:

Having been stollen, someone lily has your credentials. So, by all means, modifying them.

• Modify: your login credentials (Using Both a New eMail and a New Password for each and all sites)
• Associate: a different method of payment to your account
• Enable: Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID and for all other accounts that have such an applicable option
