I received an email regarding my apple being locked. How it is asking my social security number?

I received an email regarding my apple ID being blocked and need to unblock it. Do I really need to provide my social security with all my personal information?

That email is fake. Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com as an attachment and then delete it.


If your Apple ID had actually been locked, you'd have been told when you tried to log into it.
