Just got an email from iCloud trying to bill me 106 dlls for some type of game. It said that if I wanted to cancel to respond and it redirected me to Apple ID support and asked me for my personal info including my social security number and credit card info. Is this legit?

Call your credit card company and cancel the card. Ask them to issue you a new one.
You might want to consider changing your password and making sure it is a strong one. You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.
