How do I secure my Apple Account after suspicious payment and access attempts?

Is this legit


Our automated safeguards have detected irregular payment and access attempts associated with your AppIe user account. A 197.60 US dollar transaction request via Apple’s digital wallet from a retail location in Neveda is currently pending, and several unexpected sign-in and wallet authorization attempts from devices outside your normal history were also identified. 




If you initiated this purchase, no further action is needed and the transaction will automatically process within 12 hours. If this activity is unfamiliar, contact AppIe Support immediately to secure your login credentials and payment information.
