Hacked

Question

Hacked

I recently received an email for an invoice for a Tinder account that I did not authorize. I do not have any cc info linked, however they used my Apple ID and made my IP address public. I called an Apple Support number online and spoke with a company who appears is scamming people by posing as apple. They call it the Apple Phishing Scam. What actions do I need to take? Anyone else experience this?

Apple would not warn of a pending account issue, giving you a deadline to fix the issue.
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.
