For the past few weeks I have been getting at least 10 notifications a day to reset my password. I'll get a notification, a text from "apple" and a call from Apple, Inc. It happens most often between 12 pm and 3 pm and additionally around 1 am and 3 am. I reset my password the first time it happened but it's getting aggressive.
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15
Hey bopenshaw,
Apple will not text you or call you regarding your Apple ID account. The only notification you would receive if something was wrong with your Apple ID account or password, is when you try signing in or using your Apple ID with one of the offered services. Based on your description, it sounds like you're receiving phishing communications and phone calls, in which case you do not want to respond to them or take action on them. Please see this article in its entirety: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams
If you receive a suspicious email or SMS text message that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, please email it to reportphishing@apple.com.
If you get an unsolicited or suspicious phone call from someone claiming to be from Apple or Apple Support, just hang up. You can report scam phone calls to the Federal Trade Commission (U.S. only) at reportfraud.ftc.gov or to your local law enforcement agency.
If you believe that your Apple ID has been compromised, or if you might have entered your password or other personal info on a scam website, change your Apple ID password immediately.
Best regards.
