Receiving unrequested password reset emails

Question

In the past week I've received 3 unrequested password reset emails to "reset your Apple ID account password"

I've logged out all devices (except my phone - which is on my person).

Is anyone else receiving these? Email looks legit but I'm not clicking any links, etc.

null-OTHER, iOS 10.3.3, Apple ID account

Email looks legit ...

Of course it does. If they didn't appear to be authentic, those scams would not be as successful as they are.

... but I'm not clicking any links, etc.

Good.

Probably is phishing, don't click on any link and be sure that it comes from Apple (and all the link are pointing to the Apple domains). If it's phishing Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support report it to Apple:
