Fake Apple ID recover request

Hi,

i got the following text message from apple:

“Your Apple ID is now ready to be recovered.


Go to apple.com/recover and enter your Apple ID to get started.


Need help? Go to apple.com/support

however I didn’t request it to be recovered so it might be an attempt to hack the account. How can I cancel And avoid it?


Thanks

More than likely spam and / or scam.

If you received or acted on a likely phishing message:


If you received a suspicious email, please forward it to reportphishing@apple.com. If you're on a Mac, select the email and choose Forward As Attachment from the Message menu.

If you think you might have entered personal information like a password or credit card info on a scam website, immediately change your Apple ID password.
