Identify scams related to purported apple notifications--Eric Root.

“Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address. The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple emails won't have poor grammar/misspellings. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information by email such as Social Security numbers, your Mother’s maiden name or full credit card numbers. … 

“The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.”

Apple ID Password Change.      

 What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support     I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.

You might contact Social Security to see what they suggest.

• That's a good start. Change your social security account password. You could lock down your credit at the three credit reporting outfits--Transunion, Experian, and Equifax. You might consider Lifelock, but I wouldn't if you lock your credit down.
