Beware Apple.com SMS phishing

I don't use Apple kit, so I know this is phishing for sure.
Apparently 'from' Apple.com, it claims my iCloud ID needs reactivating, linking to a phishing site.
This kind of thing is usually released over a holiday hoping to catch people before someone spots it's bogus.
It's unusual because it's 1) by SMS and 2) is a personalised salutation to my real name. Be wary if you receive one!

As there was a concerted push by scammers yesterday, I alerted a couple of Apple device owning friends - and they actually got the self-same texts within a few minutes of my alert. I know that stopped one guy who'd otherwise be being reamed right now.0
