  • Not sure of a legit "855" number for Apple.
  • "That looks like suspicious to us" - Poor grammar typical of scam message
  • "id" - Apple does not use lower case for Apple ID
  • "we have placed those request on hold" - Poor grammar typical of scam message


That whole thing looks like a phishing message to me trying to get you to call that number and provide your personal/financial information.
