Not from me, took it from reddit:

Just a heads up, there is a phishing scam going after watch preorders. The subject line mentions requiring verification. Links in the email are obviously not related to Apple. It comes From a very fake gmail account as well.
Email body is:
Dear Client,The following changes to your Apple ID were made on [[04/10/2015]]:Your Billing Address was Changed
we need to verify if this change was made by you. We need to verify your account information in order to continue using your Apple ID Please Verify your account information by clicking on the link below
Verify Now
If you need additional help, contact Apple Support.Apple Support
 
I got that email. But it didn't ask me to verify anything. It came from Apple and it was the legit email. But I didn't change my shopping or billing address. I changed my password just in case and got an email confirming that change from the exact same email.
 
Every email that I have received from Apple opened with my name instead of "Dear Client". That alone should encourage the recipient to investigate the legitimacy of the email.
