Hello, Mariamg14,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities, it's great to have you here.
We want to help make sure that your iCloud account is secure and your data protected. Where exactly are you seeing this message at? Based on how you're describing it, we're concerned that the message may not be genuine correspondence from Apple but rather a type of scam known as "phishing". Phishing is basically an attempt to extract your personal information such as bank details or password information. There is a really great resource here that should help you identify if that is indeed a phishing attempt: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
We hope that this information is helpful.
Have a great day!
I'm getting the same notifications. I haven't responded to them at all-do they eventually stop or will it just be forever popping up?
See my post three above yours
This worked for me. Thanks! Barney-15E.
What exactly is the message? Many time the way a message is worded can provide a clue. Also when do you get it? When surfing? If so any particular sites or all sites?
