Someone trying to use my apple id -- real or scam

is there any scam where a pop up on your iphone says someone is trying to log onto your apple id, then prompts you to change it and a link pops up

That is probably a scam. Others have posted they saw the same type of popup.


If you want to change your password, use the links below, not a link in a popup.


 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.
