How to identify phising mails? Is it normal to get a warning in Mail about ID and in a attached pdf file with a link to be pushed to unlock your account. Is it not safer to send a text if Apple detect unormal activity?

It is a scam.
Did you provide any potentially damaging information to anyone? If yes, you'll need to follow up, for example, with a credit card company, Apple, your bank, etc.
If you gave you Apple ID password to a scammer, then

Apple won't send you an email/text telling you your account is disabled/restricted or will be disabled/restricted. You will find out the next time you try to log in somewhere.
Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address. The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information by email such as Social Security numbers, your Mother’s maiden name or full credit card numbers .
The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.
thanks, did not give away any info. Just delited the mail, after opening the pdf file and saw they asked for pushing a link. Then logged in here and asked the question, so thanks for the advise 😊👍
