This is a Scam:

Apple will not send you such an message. So, report this to Apple. Go Here: Using the Photos App to Report Scams: - User Tip


Modifying your Credentials:

Important: If you tapped on any link, then your Apple ID may be a risk here. If you did not interact with it, then you are fine from here. So, if you interacted with the message, consider modifying your credentials, starting with a new password.
