Email scam

I received an email saying someone had tried to log in with my apple account and that I needed to verify my account or it would be permanently blocked. The I followed the link and it led to a page that eventually needs my banking details including my card pin. Is this legit ?

I’ve received email from Apple ID saying my account will be locked in 7 days and asked to login to my account with my full particulars and credit card info. May i know if this is legit or a scam. Coz I didn’t realise that it was sent to my different email address than the one I’m using for my Apple ID. And seems fishy. Can please clarify to me if this is legit or a scam. Thank you!

No, it's not legit.

Apple would always address you by name

And you should never give out any banking or personal data based on a link in an email
