Apple ID Reset

I got an email (not the one associated with my Apple ID) entitled "How To Reset your Apple ID". It has my name and another of my emails, but this is not the email associated with my Apple ID.

The email looks legit and even has my name, but I do not have an Apple ID associated with that email. Should I be concerned?

I even went so far as to try and see if I could reset it, but it said that there was no Apple ID associated with the email (fully expected it not to work). I just want to make sure there is nothing weird going on.

Thanks!

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

Scams (e-mail, text messages, and phone calls) are getting very good at closely imitating true Apple communications. Always be cautious. Here are some guidelines:

Identifying legitimate emails from the App Store and iTunes Store - Identify legitimate emails from the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support

Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

Avoid scams when you use Apple Cash --> Avoid scams when you use Apple Cash - Apple Support

Apple 'How to identify, avoid, and report phishing' video--> https://youtu.be/SR3Z3fXXjfw

If you are uncertain about a message and a resource provided in that message, do not click on any links in the message. Try to independently verify the resource by going to a support page on apple.com and use that to contact Apple or to verify with the service the message is telling you to use.
