You can't, assuming anyone actually did. What makes you think someone did, anyway? Did you get an email telling this had happened? - these are often scams, trying to get you to reveal your ID and password. Real emails from Apple always address you by name and come from the apple.com domain, not some address that happens to have 'apple' in it somewhere. If you hover the cursor over any links without clicking on them the actual URL will show as a tooltip and if it's genuine it will be to an apple.com URL. Apple will never ask you to 'verify' your address, account or details in an email and will never send you messages telling you that your account has been or is about to be locked.


In any case never follow a link in an unexpected email: if you want to check your account or make alterations always go directly to the relevant Apple page.


If you are uncertain about an email you can post it here (copy and paste, not as an image) and we can check it - however make sure to remove your own email address if it's showing, never post that in the forums.


You can report fraudulent emails to Apple by forwarding them as an email attachment to reportphishing@apple.com
