Totally agree that I don't know the Apple eco system and that made it easier. It was a legit apple support email. Even compared all email headers with the email I received after I called Apple support and opened a new case. I gave them all the info I could.

It was definitely phishing, I'd even say spear phishing as the knew all of my details without me giving it out. I assume from leaked data somewhere.

I'm pretty sure that they were able to create a support case with me details and scheduled it for that time so they had the case number and knew to call before that time.
