Suspicious Apple ID activity

Hello, last week I reported a suspicious app purchases from my Apple ID. This afternoon I received an email from a suspicious email saying my Apple ID has been locked and it is definitely not from an Apple email but it is pretending. It is saying my Apple ID is locked in under investigation for suspicious activity.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

Apple won't send you an email/text telling you your account is disabled/restricted  or will be disabled/restricted. You will find out the next time you try to log in somewhere.



Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it. You can forward as an attachment by going to Mail/Message/Forward as attachment. Or control - click on the email and select Forward as attachment. Make sure you send it as an attachment to a new email. If you just forward it, it will probably be rejected. You won’t receive a response.
