Apple ID loged in via iMessage NOT ME

Hello,

I keep getting email alerts that my account has been accessed via iMessage from another device, that isn't mine. I have changed my password numerous times and aIso enabled two-factor authentication. I do not get an alert for the two factor authentication whenever I receive the e-mail about someone logging into my iMessage.


I have also checked to see what devices are logged into my AppledID - and it only shows MY phone.


Here is ONE of the messages:

Dear ,

Your Apple ID (my email) was used to sign in to iMessage on an iMac 12.5" names "macen (weird symbols) iMac"


Date and Time: September 19, 2019, 4:09PM PDT


If the information above looks familiar, you can ignore this message.


Then the rest of the e-mail...


So HOW can someone log into my iMessage... without me approved it with two factor authentication... AND how do they keep doing this after I change my password... etc.


HELPPPP!

Those are probably spam messages. Ignore them

If you received an email about a subscription or Apple Music charge and you're not sure if it's real, check to make sure that it's a legitimate email from Apple.
