Is someone trying to hack me? Should I do anything?!

[Umlauf]

I have an ipad and an iTunes account with what I had thought was quite a secure password, mixture of numbers and letters and upper and lower case etc, and the email address it is linked to is relatively new (16 months)

I keep receiving emails from apple support telling me how to reset my password!! At ridiculous times of night, day, whenever. The email also says:

If you weren't trying to reset your password, don't worry ? your account is still secure and no one has been given access to it. Most likely, someone just mistyped their email address while trying to reset their own password.

The first time maybe, but not I'm not so sure. Is this happening to anyone else and is a techy problem at apple? Or am I being cyber attacked!!! Should I do anything about it?!!

Thanks for reading!

It's a scam email - I've had them too.

Oh ok that's good. Quite a horrible feeling that a friend or family member might have been trying to get access! Although bad that my new email account is already subject to scam mail :-(

Thank you :-)

Sometimes it takes a few goes to get my fb password correct. Whenever that happens I get an email similar to the one described by the OP. So I wouldn't readily dismiss it as spam.

Funny you should post this, I was about to do the same!

I'm getting a few emails a day - I'm hoping the system is just being daft as I've seen no evidence that my Apple account (or email account) has been hacked.

There's a thread on here about this from earlier - the link goes to a dodgy page.

yeah I get that and I don't even have an apple account. I just send it to spam
