There are, at least, two possibilities at play here:

You're welcome! That may be a phishing email. I've haven't received any emails from Apple with that email address that I could find. I did receive one without the underscores ( _ ).


May I ask how you are changing your info? Is it on your iPhone or on a Website?

Thank you . I will check with my bank first before trying another card . I have not shared my Apple ID and password ever so doubt its been compromised gat way . Though the message in the settings states that my Apple ID was access from another device hence the need to update the payment details . Will check with my bank and come back to you . Thank you so much .

... and that would appear to be legitimate as the notification should be coming from Apple.


Try using a Mac and, using a web browser, go to Manage Your Apple ID. From there go to the Payment & Shipping section. Then click on Edit Payment Information...


If you are unable to update your payment information, you may need to contact your financial institution to find out if there is a hold on your account.

I contacted my bank and all was fine . I also realized I had been postponing a 10.3.2 iOS update so I finally updated the iOS and after a few hours I recieved an email confirming payment details are now ok and the alert in the settings also disappeared .


Thanks for your time . Really appreciated the quick response and all ..
