Phishing Email from online.communications@alerts.comcast.net

I got a phishing email that says,"You Apple account has been frozen." I don't use apple account very often, why my account has be frozen?  When I saw the email address, I immediately know it was a  phishing email, so I'm not worry. But I still check my account from my ipad not click the link. You never never click links through your email, even it is real email from the real sender.
Real senders like PayPal, apple, eBay, Amazon will not ask you update your information by click the links.
I checked my account from my iPad, nothing wrong with my account. In order to prevent others get fraud, I report to apple. Here is I got respond from apple:
