Hi there, hassam2525.


It appears that you've opened an email that contained a suspicious link and you're wondering what you need to do. I'm happy to help.


I see that you got to the Apple Support Communities from article: Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams -- This article provides the best information on how to avoid these scams, and how to report them if you receive one. If you believe that your Apple ID has been compromised, change your password as soon as possible.

Never share your Apple ID password or temporary verification codes with anyone. Apple will never ask you for this information to provide support.
