Someone is using my apple ID

I received an email that my apple ID was used for a purchased of Tinder Plus. They sent me a receipt as well. I’m not sure if this is legit email or scam. I never purchased any apps using my apple ID. Could you please help me with this.


Thank you.


Kind regards,

See the info below for how to identify bogus messages.


  • Apple does not include document, or PDF files to download.
  • Apple would not refer to you as Dear Customer, Dear Client, or anything other than the name on file for your account.
  • Apple would not have such horrible spelling or grammar. 
  • Apple would not send a message to “Undisclosed Recipients”. 


It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.
