I received an email that there is a problem with my Apple Payment account and it has been locked for reverification But one item requested was my Social Security number so I stopped. I believe it could be legitimate because I have made a couple of recent changes… However, the request for a Social Security number raises my concern. I can’t find how to contact Apple to inquire whether this is a legitimate inquiry. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
