Hello talan209! Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you’re seeing an alert that someone is tracking your AirPods. We'd like to look into this with you to see how we can help. 


First, it’s possible that this may be a fake alert. You can learn more about this, here: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams


Find My locates AirPods that are associated with your iPhone, if Find My iPhone is enabled in Settings. Let’s reset your AirPods, then pair them again with your iPhone to see if this helps: 



For more information about how Find My works with AirPods, see here: How to find your lost AirPods, AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max


Make it a great day!
