As I’m not quite sure what you’re asking about…


The appleaccount.com domain is an Apple-owned domain, Apple having reportedly acquired it in a domain dispute about a decade ago.


The account involved is associated with an Apple Business Manager account: Add and verify a domain in Apple Business Manager - Apple Support


Probably related to an Italian vendor.


As for the text message itself, various carriers offer an email-to-text gateway function. Send a mail message to the carrier’s gateway, and it gets converted into a text message. Check with your carrier for how to use and how to manage that.


What the text message might be, or whether the sender can be trusted, or is a scam, or otherwise?
