I have received 2 emails saying I’m blocked/purchases made I did not authorize. Are these emails fake or do I need to create new password?

In a message Apple will always address you by your real name, never by your email address or Dear Customer. Also the sent-from address should be @apple.com or @itunes.com Additionally Apple does not send attachments.

The may be fake. You can do some detective work:


See this Apple support article—>Identify legitimate emails from the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support

Then follow these instructions to review your purchase history—>See your purchase history for the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support

Also, can you log in to your Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com?
