fake receipt

I just received what looks like a fake receipt or phishing. It is on an account not connected with my apple account, and referencing a different ID. How can I determine if I have been hacked or this is just phishing?

Create a strong password for your Apple ID, It is best if your password consists of eight or more characters and include upper and lowercase letters, and at least one number. You can also add extra characters and punctuation marks to make your password even stronger. 

Never provide your password, passcode, security questions, verification codes, recovery key or any other account security details to anyone else. Apple will never ask you for this information.
