My Apple ID is being used on an unrecognized device

I just received a message on my iPhone that my “Apple ID and Phone Number are now being used for iMessage and FaceTime on a new Apple Watch.” I do have an Apple Watch, but I’ve had it for over a year and haven’t changed anything… what should I do?

Scams (e-mail, text messages, and phone calls) are getting very good at closely imitating true Apple communications. Always be cautious. Here are some guidelines:

If you are uncertain about a message and a resource provided in that message, do not click on any links. Try to independently verify the resource by going to a support page on apple.com and use that to contact Apple.
