I received an email stating my apple id is locked due to suspicious activity and another advising Unauthorized login attempt on your account from Tokelau - IP 226.237.145.159.
It advises to cluck on the login button within he email and provide apple id details within 1 week otherwise my account will be locked permanently.
Please advise if this is a scam and if I need to action anything.

It is a scam. Apple would notify you when you attempt to login, not via email.

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.
