It is possible that this person has access to your email account that you use for your Apple ID credential.
If they do, they would ALSO get an email notification whe you change your Apple ID password -
Change your password to your EMAIL account - actually change every password for everywhere there are logins

OK
It appears that your badoo account was compromised
Nothing to do with your Apple ID
You can TRY to get badoo to help with that issue
Your badoo account had your phone number as a detail in the account information - if they were IN your account, then the badoo system assumed that they were YOU
The phishing attempt - Apple "purchase" that you did not make - was a good guess that you used the same email address for badoo as for your Apple ID
IF you are using a password ANYWHERE that was provided by the "criminal" you need to change it = NOW.
To secure your Apple ID - and any other "membership" that has this feature - you need to enable
Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support
OR
Switch from two-step verification to two-factor authentication - Apple Support
Read these CAREFULLY - then take action

this is the mail
No possible way that this is APPLE
IF
indeed you changed your Apple ID password at
https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage
THEN
this person has your email account password so that they can access your email account INBOX to SEE the notification FROM Apple about the password change
OR
they are guessing
These are all from scammers and not from Apple. And, they do not know anything, they are just making things up hoping that you will believe them and give them access or information so they can steal from you. Just ignore.
Ah. Okay, that makes more sense.
The two fake emails are just that. Fakes with no connection to your account.
The one you received after changing the password was indeed from Apple. It's an automatically generated message to let the owner of the account know the password was changed. For the obvious reason if you didn't change it, you would want to be notified.
The message from Apple also should have also included a line that says something like, "Your account password was recently changed. If you are aware of this, you can disregard this message."
Now you've confused me again. Post screen shots of the two purported fake emails, and the one that is likely from Apple. Remove any personal information from the images before posting. Such as your personal email address. If they show, make sure we can see the return email addresses. Those will tell much about where they're from.
As Chitlins noted, the first is clearly not from Apple. Not with that return address. But, you already guessed that much.
The second is from Apple. As I noted earlier, it's nothing more than an automatically generated message to let the owner of the account know someone changed the password. You already know it was changed and the person who did it was you.
The person sending the fake messages from kambinmabok.biz knows nothing about the password change.
Anyone can send you an email as long as they have your address. Changing your password won't stop that.
Correcting my good friend Kurt's statement
The second APPEARS to be from Apple - BUT - "support" is not a mailbox account that Apple would use, especially regarding anything to do with Apple ID
Changes to your Apple ID would come from
Apple <appleid@id.apple.com>
I still believe that you need to tell us the story, from the beginning, in detail, every one.
The second APPEARS to be from Apple - BUT - "support" is not a mailbox account that Apple would use…
No, it's from Apple. What's in front of the @ symbol isn't part of the domain. In this case, it's apple.com, which can only be from Apple. If you do a whois on the address, it resolves to Apple.

"support" is not a mailbox that Apple would put in an email
ANYONE can type an email address to an "apparently" valid Apple email address -
when I simply type
it looks like a real email address because it is FORMATTED CORRECTLY
The email would go NOWHERE (and MAY not even get a BOUNCE reply from apple.com)
All I'm saying is support@apple.com would only go to Apple, assuming it exists. What we don't know is if the address in the email read that way, but really went somewhere else when you click on the address, or hover over it to see where it really goes. We don't have that information.
Then we can do nothing but guess about the information you've provided. Your last post on who sent what said:
the problem is that was also a fake from the same person;
So far, that makes sense since you said you received two fake emails from the same person. But then you confuse that statement with:
that's why I am asking how did he know that i changed the pass
Then we're back to, "How does who know?" We can't read your mind. If it's nothing more than a genuine email from Apple informing you your password has been changed, then then the crook sent nothing and knows nothing about the password change.
Post just the sender's address on the one noting the password change.
last few days quite a few strange things happened: I realised that on a chat (badoo) my profile had been hackered by someone who put some photos ( òf him, or stolen, I don`t know) and mine finished in a private album, he also changed the pass a send me the new pass by message on my phone (I had phone number a email adress that only me and the amministrators could see)so I deleted (?) my profile. Than I received another message with a code of something i bought; so I cecked my card but there were no new transaction; than I get those mail …. I don`t really knowwhat is happening
Methinks "support" was included ONLY to present a false sense of security
Oh! I get what you're saying now. Yes, I've seen lots of those, too. Fake links in the scam email, along with some legitimate ones that serve no purpose other than to try and make the message seem more legitimate.
