Scam email notification

Notified of charge to apple account on email. Looks like scam since no purchase is listed on my account in Apple site. I clicked on link to cancel. Oh, so unaware of the legitimate appearance of scams. Should I do anything else? Change Applie password? Report to Apple?

Scam Email?? says my iCloud account stolen I've received a threatening email that "appears" to have come from my account, when I click on the email it says I need to pay xxx USD and they have videos of me doing things I have clearly not done. Claiming a program Pegasus has been installed on one of my devices. I'd write it off immediately except for one thing.. I use an @me account, but I think this is coming from the associated @iCloud account. Anyone know if this is a known scam??

I received an email saying my apple id is lock. How can I confirm that this is real and not a fishing scam? I keep getting emails that say my Apple ID is locked. Below is the headline of my email. Important! : Your Apple ID Has Been Temporary Locked And Hold All Your Subscription, Thursday 7 September 2023. reff#8693419185 It also has a PDF to open. I didn't open it or respond. Is this a fishing scam? I'm coming straight to Apple to check.

Good question. You should forward that email it to reportphishing@apple.com
