I keep getting emails that say my Apple ID is locked. Below is the headline of my email.

Important! : Your Apple ID Has Been Temporary Locked And Hold All Your Subscription, Thursday 7 September 2023. reff#8693419185

It also has a PDF to open. I didn't open it or respond.

Is this a fishing scam? I'm coming straight to Apple to check.

Given the simple fact that you are logged-in and posting here - presumably with your AppleID - it’s clearly NOT “locked.”

It’s a phishing scam attempting to takeover your AppleID and/or your personal identity and finances.
