Verify your Apple ID email address?

Last night, I received an email in an infrequently used inbox asking me to verify my Apple ID address.
I did not request this. Should I be concerned?

Verify your Apple ID email address.​

You have selected this email address as your new Apple ID. To verify this email address belongs to you, enter the code below on the email verification page:
xxxxxxxx
This code will expire three hours after this email was sent.
Why you received this email.
Apple requires verification whenever an email address is selected as an Apple ID. Your Apple ID cannot be used until you verify it.
If you did not make this request, you can ignore this email. No Apple ID will be created without verification.

Sometimes other users (Apple/iCloud) have similar user names and can be incorrectly entered when requesting to change login information. Since you didn't request it, you can delete the email and not worry about it anymore.

Did you click a link that was in the email?

No, there was no link within the email. I wouldn't have clicked it if there was.

Agree with, Bob. Ignore.
