why do i keep getting asked to verify an apple id with a completely different email?

I was using my phone regularly and out of no where, i got a pop up to verify an apple id but the email was completely different. After canceling I got another one with a different email, and so it was popping up at least 8 times with different emails. Should i be worried?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

If ever in doubt about a communication’s authenticity, use an independent way through Apple's own resources for checking what the communication claims. Scams (e-mail, text messages, and phone calls) are getting very good at closely imitating true Apple communications. Always be cautious. These support articles have some guidelines:
