Yes, it's a scam.

Recognize and avoid social engineering schemes including phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

One thing that stand out as an indicator of fraud is that the message refers to an "Apple ID." Apple doesn't call it that anymore. It's correctly called your "Apple Account."

That's also not an Apple number.
