Apple ID Suspicious Activity SCAM

You may wish to change your Apple ID log/pass with a password you do not use for any other on line service. If you use your same log/pass combo with another service (e.g. Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) and that service is "hacked" then the perpetrators have to only try typing this same combo in any other service to get into your other accounts.

Change the Email associated with the ID if you wish to remove the email in use:

Also consider enabling two factor authentication if you have not done so already.

Any with an embedded link should be ignored and immediately deleted. You can always login to you AppleID account from any web browser, so there is no need to ever, for any reason at all, follow any embedded link in any message from anyone.

That applies to any account you have with anyone - Apple, Google, your bank, your email provider, etc. You know how to access your own account (or should, and if not, can independently search and find out how) so never, ever click on any link in any message to verify, check, amend, change or do anything else to any account you have with anyone.

If you feel you need to, open a web browser (or app if there is one for that account or service) and verify things for yourself. Never, under any circumstances, trust any link in any message. There simply is no need to ever do so.

Thank you for your reply. Is there any security issue with my Apple ID if I have followed the instructions by clicking the link they given to reset my password?

Yes. The bad guys now have your password. Go to Apple's iCloud immediately and change your password to something completely different.

Clicking the link takes you to the scammer's (phisher's) website. That is exactly what they want you to do. They will have your Apple ID if you enter it on their website.

NEVER follow links in an email body.

Report this to Apple. It is a scam.
