"AirTag Detected Near You" popup (do not own Airtags

I am frequently getting messages that say “Air Tag Detected Near You” I don’t own an Airtag but seems to follow me & sometimes shows me a map of movement from place to place. What is it & how to deactivate ? Am I being tracked ?

AirTag notifications pop up on my iPhone but I do have an AirTag I keep getting air tag notifications pop up on my phone but I’ve never had an air tag, don’t know anyone with an air tag and I don’t use public transport. I just got one on my phone and it says it was first seen with me today at 8:25 which is when I first got in my car today. I wouldn’t have a stalker as I don’t talk to anyone or involved with anyone. Should I be worried? Thanks in advance. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

is this a new airtag scam? hi, I received a notification that an AirTag was found moving with me, first time at 12:47 am Monday night (when I was at home sleeping and not moving) and apparently it was first detected Sunday morning at 4:16 am (when I also was at home and not moving), but that time did not receive a notification. I tried to "play sound" didn't work and a map DOES show my correct ocation - what's going on? How can I make sure I wasn't hacked and how do I find out why I gotthis notification in the first place???

Unknown AirTag tracking my location I received a notification that an unknown AirTag was found nearby me and it was located at the same area where I was but when I was playing the sound and scanning to find it, it couldn’t detect. What do I do if there’s an unknown AirTag tracking me but I can’t find it? Please help me as I find it really disturbing that something is tracking me and I’m unable to disable the AirTag.
