Click on the senders email to expose the entire email address it came from. It’s likely a fake email but when in doubt always look at the full email address it came from. Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

If you can log on to www.icloud.com using your Apple ID and Password, you will see immediately if anything is amiss.


When you see that everything is normal, you will know that the message or email that you have received is a scam.


NEVER click on a link in a message like this, even if you think the message might be real. Simply go directly to the "source" to check things out.


I just got a very legitimate looking email from a bank indicating that my account has been frozen and I need to call this toll free number immediately to clear things up. Interesting because I don't even have an account at the bank.
