I got an email from Apple support:

Re : Action Required - Your account was used to purchase (The Mask Singer - Tiny Stage) on the App Store - Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2020 10:02:29 -0800

Is this a scam?

Yes, this is the latest scam email making the rounds.

Apple does not include document, or PDF files to download.
Apple would not refer to you as Dear Customer, Dear Client, or anything other than the name on file for your account.
Apple would not have such horrible spelling or grammar.
Apple would not send a message to “Undisclosed Recipients”.

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.

reportphishing@apple.com
