They won't ask customers for their SSN except as part of verifying their identity for setting up Apple Pay Cash.

Does apple support ever ask for a social security number? I received an email from a sender that says apple support and it stated my account would be deactivated if I didn’t verify and I entered my password which I have changed now because it asked for my social security number and I don’t ever remember putting that in from when I first activated a new account; and the search bar was not in green and never said apple.com but to be sure..my question is does apple send emails and when opening to verify account ask for a social security number?
