An email I got today from apple iCloud about my Apple ID

is it legit? Said it had been temporary disabled due to security reasons.

It was asking for my address , social security #, and more. If I didn’t respond within 24 hrs it would be locked. Said my I’d had been used to log in to a different web browser in Albania.

Please advise! Thx

It's fake. Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com as an attachment and then delete it.


If an Apple ID actually gets disabled, its owner will be told when they try logging into it instead of through email. In addition, Apple will only ask customers for their SSN if they're setting up Apple Pay Cash.
