Wondering if the message is genuine, as there can be scams that attempt to gain your information.

Scare tactics are often used to get people to re-act and disclose personal information.


Eg: Recognize and avoid social engineering schemes including phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


You could try logging in to iCloud at https://www.icloud.com and check if all is in order there.


If needed: iCloud have a support website online(info. / support / contact options etc.

There is a "Get support - start now link (online chat / phone / email etc.)

at the bottom of their website.
