Apple Pay suddenly asking for a lot of personal data from me before I can accept a payment I've been using Apple Pay for over a year. Today it is subjecting me to a questionnaire, asking for personal data, before I can accept a $45 payment from my son, who's reimbursing me for something. The questionnaire wants my full name, street address and zipcode, last 4 digits of my SSN, and my date of birth, and possibly some other things. I stopped at that point. Is this LEGIT and from Apple, or is it possible my son's phone has been hacked and this is a third-party app collecting info?

Apple ID compromised Hi everyone, Here is what happened to me yesterday; someone was able to use my Apple ID to purchase an Apple Watch on the Apple Store. I received an official notification via SMS from Apple and an email confirming the order. The sms and email were telling me the watch was ready for pick-up at the Apple Store near where I live. The purchase (around $1200) was charged on the credit card linked to my Apple ID. I was able to resolve the situation by contacting my credit card provider and Apple but was wondering if this has ever happened to anyone? I have no idea how this person was able to access my Apple ID and use it to make a purchase. Any clues? Also wanted to share my story as it may be helpful to others! Thanks!
