Someone use my Apple ID but it wasn’t me

Hello,


someone use my email for Apple ID, but it wasn’t me. This is my e-mail, but I use another e-mail for Apple ID. In this morning, I received e-mail that someone used my e-mail for login on iColud via Google Chrome. How can I change this?


Best regards

Another possibility:


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 or to verify the service the message is telling you to use.


Forward email attempts as an attachment (in MacOS Mail use the paperclip icon) to: reportphishing@apple.com then delete it.
