That’s a classic scam!

Block the scammer immediately!


Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams.

See the link in the reply above.


The usual scam involves the login link. It’ll probably be to some other website and not to Apple, and what you reach will look like the Apple login prompts, but isn’t, and entering your credentials there will then cause a Bad Day for you.


Enable two-factor authentication on your Apple ID, if you’ve not already done so. That’s a last-chance means to preserve your Apple ID security, in the event your password becomes known to another.


Just to keep this all interesting, sending email addresses and calling telephone numbers can all be faked / spoofed / forged, too.
