Scam.


You logged in here, presumably with the same Apple ID you are using elsewhere, and it worked, so... scam.


The links in the scam email are usually the give-away—if you examine those without clicking on them, the links you'll see won't send you to Apple.com, they'll take you to the scammer's "Apple portal" where they'll collect your Apple ID and password and then the "fun" really begins for you or anyone else that enters their credentials.
