i got an email from Apple support saying someone is making purchases but when I click on the link it doesn’t go through and the images don’t load. So idk if it’s fake to get information on my id or it’s acually being used. I checked my bank statements and see no purchase.

Thousands of these things are being randomly sent every day. Unsurprisingly, yours is fake. Apple does not include links to cancel orders, or attachments.
Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address. The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information such as Social Security numbers.
The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.
Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams
Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store
Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it. You can forward as an attachment by going to Mail/Message/Forward as attachment.
Thank you!

Is anyone getting fake emails saying your Apple ID is being used and someone is making purchases?
