It is not clear to me whether you have a question or not, but to learn how to recognize scams so that you can avoid them in the future, I recommend reading Recognize and avoid social engineering schemes including phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support.


It's also not a good idea to post your email address on publicly viewable websites like this one, because it invites phishing exploits and harassment in general. I asked the site Hosts to obscure the email address posted in your screenshot.
