She and I have purchased multiple iPhones and each one gets hacked. we’ve reset our phones and purchased new iPhones but the hacking continues even after getting new Apple ID and new phone numbers.

No, he spoofed your email address.

It’s a scam. Ignore it.

If it makes you feel better, change the password for your email account.

Yes, it is a very common scam attempt. Do not interact with the message or the sender. No further steps are needed.
