apple Id scam

Dear Bla Bla, We noticed unusual sign in attempts on your Apple ID, therefore your account has been locked.* To unlock visit.

I received this as a text message.
I don't have an apple id.
Seems to be a scam.

It seems that autocorrect has changed the link, I had amended it anyway to prevent it working.

Re: apple Id scam

I received this 'Apple' email last week and in the past. I was told, if it was genuinely from Apple they would address you by your name.
These don't.
