The receipt isn't proper English. Scam for sure.

A) the grammatical mistakes are a dead give away its a scam B) Apple sends you a receipt of payment, but you pay on your device. They wont send you an invoice. Thats why you have to link a credit card to your Apple account. They also make you use the fingerprint ID to confirm your purchase in the app. C) they will not send an attachment as a receipt, and certainly not a Word document. D) Did you play Fortnite or buy anything for Fortnite on your Apple device? If there was no charges on your card/bank account, you should be ok. Be careful about following links or opening attachments sent to your email from email accounts youre unfamiliar with.

Scam. They want you to call them and verify your information. In other words, give them your credit card number.

Scam. Apple will include your current billing address on any receipts. As noted above, they do not send invoices for app purchases and they don't send Word docs.
