It is a scam. If there was a problem you would be notified when attempting to log in, including when logging into this forum. Also see: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

Delete and forget.

The best way to avoid being fooled here is to do nothing.

If you ignored these e-mails - you are fine. If not, take some time to protect your Apple ID as soon as possible - change the password and enable two-factor authentication, if you haven't already.
