is anyone else getting emails from spammers with there full name on email

I received an email from do_not_reply@apple.com with my full name saying password reset and if I didn’t repot to a iforgot apple address. Is this legit as I hadn’t tried to log into anything or are spammers getting more sophisticated using peoples full names now.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 18

Your English is somewhat garbled there. "Repot"?


Given the amount of information that is available on the web it wouldn't be too difficult to find out the full name of somebody plus their email address. Then a spam email could be more convincing. The only way to check these things is to evaluate what the email is asking you to do and then if you feel it may make sense, do not use any links in the email but instead use Apple's web pages to check what the email claims.
