Someone is using my Apple ID.

I was on my iPhone and I got a message from Apple that someone just log in with my Apple ID and using iMessage and FaceTime one new iPad.

First I don’t have a new iPad. I have one but old.

Second, nobody was using FaceTime and iMessage.

Who should I contact to fix this problem? Someone might be using my Apple ID.

Meantime , what can I do to fix this myself?

iPhone 11, iOS 13
