I just received a warning, supposedly from Apple, saying that my Password had been changed, which I did not do.

Is this just another scam or should I be concerned?


Thank you,

You might want to consider changing your password and making sure it is a strong one. You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.
