someone is trying to hack my account

I have been recieving the following email several times per week:

To reset your Apple ID password, simply click the link below. That will take you to a web page where you can create a new password.

Please note that the link will expire three hours after this email was sent.

It would seem that someone is trying to hack my account. Usually it comes on the middle of the night, so it would seem it is fromn another country.

Is there a way to report this to Apple? Can they do anything about it if I do?

More likely it's just the phishing message that's been making the rounds, trying to get you to give them your account credentials. Don't respond to the message, just delete it.

That's just a phishing message, its does not mean they have any of your information. But to be safe, you could login through a proper apple website, and change your password to something new. I recommend something with both letters and numbers. Just don't do this through any link provided by third parties.
