I keep receiving verification emails from apple that are not from me

Hi, I've received more than 20 emails from [email protected] in the same day to verify my email address, the messages are in French, and according to google translate:
"Dear (Not me),
You entered (my Gmail address missing the dots) as contact email address for your Apple ID. To complete the process, we need to verify that it is your email address. Just click the link below and log in using your Apple ID and password.
Should I be worried? Did someone access my account? I changed my password but received the same email later.
The last email was different, it say, according to google translate:
"Find My iPhone was disabled in iPhone (Not me but same as above)..."

Hey there Mr.224,
It sounds like you are getting emails from a sender that appears to be Apple, but with information that clearly is not yours. I recommend a couple of things here. First log into your account at http://appleid.apple.com, and see if the email address from the message you got is listed in your Alternate Email address. If so, and you do not want it there, delete the email address.
If it is not there, then take a look at this article with informatin about identifying Phishing emails:

Why am I getting frequent spam emails via iPad that are not coming through my primary email account? And how do I get them to stop?

Hi D.,
Unfortunately phishing is far too common these days. The articles below will help you determine the authenticity of the emails that you received.

Unable to receive verification email in apple I'd?

Why can't my main email not receiving verification email ? My rescue email could receive verification email immediately after iPad setup.

You may have mistyped your primary email address. Alternatively, the verification email may be going to your junk mail folder.

Can you keep extra songs on your iPod that are not in your iTunes library, and not lose these songs every time you want to delete something from your iPod in the future?

I have all these songs that I want to store on my iPod but not on my computer, and I know that by choosing to manually manage my music I can still hang on to these songs when I add new songs to my iPod. However, what if I want to delete songs off of my iPod in the future? Will I lose all of the extra music that is on my iPod but not my computer, due to the fact that the only way to delete songs seems to be by syncing?

The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

Apple ID security issues -
Call Apple Care and ask for the Account Security Team. They can assist you with your issue.

I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5s. I have an iphone 4. It's asking me to sign in to confirm my details and change my password. How do I know if this email is genuine?

I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5S. I have an iphone 4. It then asks that I 'click here' to confirm my details and change my password. How do I tell if the email is genuine?

Apple will not ask you to click a link in an email. They may tell you to log in to your account to reset your password. Go to https://appleid.apple.com and log in if you ever want to change any information in your profile (or your password). And do not click the link I just posted; instead enter it into a browser.
You can verify the devices assigned to your account by going to https://icloud.com/find (again, don't click it), where you can see a list of devices registered to your Apple ID.
As a general rule, you should never click a link in an email or forum post without verifying it first. You can see where it goes without clicking it in most email programs and browsers by hovering your mouse pointer over it. On an iPhone you can check where it goes by holding your finger on the link (rather than just tapping it).

My Apple store ID password is not working, so I tried to send a message to my Yahoo email (ID) the new password, so when it said that a massage was send to my email, but when I login to my yahoo email, I didn't receive any email from apple

My other apple store ID ([email protected]) password is not working, so I tried to send a message to my Yahoo email (ID) the new password, so when it said that a massage was send to my email, but when I login to my yahoo email, I didn’t receive any email from apple

You can send over WiFi, but it sounds as if you need to setup your Gmail account, or did you do this already?

HT5312 I keep getting an email from Apple telling me that my Apple Id has been successfully reset when I did not reset them. Started early June 2013 and in a month i have had to reset it three times. Apple support was not helpful. Any suggestions?

I keep getting an email from Apple telling me that my Apple Id has been successfully reset. I did not reset it. Since early June 2013 to now i have had to reset it 3 times. It is not an easy one to remember either. Initally I thought it was some pfishing expedition but no purchases have been confirmed by my visa. My kids use my Apple Id to download APs and I am informed when this happens. Nothing strange happening on the financial site at all. Just frustrating as we have to keep updating the ID to use messenger, I cloud etc on all of the devices. I called Apple Support and the girl initally said she knew nothing about this but then spoke to someone else and they are aware of this ongoing problem and are working on it. Any suggestions? Are others having the same problems?

If the system didn't ship with Mountain Lion originally and you didn't purchase Mountain Lion yourself, then you will need to purchase. A purchase by the system's original owner cannot be transferred to you.
Unless you have another system on which you have purchased Mountain Lion, you will need to first install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on the iMac, for which you'll need either the original installation disks, if the iMac came with 10.6, or a retail copy of 10.6. Install 10.6 and upgrade to at least 10.6.6, and then you can buy Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store, presuming of course that the imac can support Mountain Lion. See:
http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/

I recently received 2 emails from Apple informing me that my Id has been used to purchase games to download to computers not associated with my ID. If I didn't initiate the download, I was advised to change my password. How do know the email is le

I recently received 2 emails form Apple checking if I had purchased 2 games from the App store that were downloaded to computers not associated with my ID. They then advised me to change my password if I had not made those purchase. How do I know that emails are legit? I am afraid that they are scams to get my information by going on to supply information. I had checked my credit card just now and no transactions have been posted yet. Thanks!

You can always manually go to http://appleid.apple.com and change your password there, to avoid any links from the emails.
That's the only place you should use to change your Apple Id password.
With that said, do you know if anybody may have used your Apple Id to download things? Like kids to a new computer or tablet?

I used my military (.mil) address as the backup for my appleID account, but now that I need to open the verification email from apple, the .mil doesnt allow me to open and verify that I am who I am?

Hey Edgew7,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Received a email from Apple stating that my Apple ID was used for a purchase not on my device. It had a link to cancel purchase but asked for my email and password which I gave then it wanted my credit card info! I didn't give that,what should I do?

Do you think this is just a way to get my credit card information?

It sounds like a phishing email. You can't "cancel" purchases. You've now given them your AppleID and password, so you should immediately change your password to something new and very secure.
Also watch out for suspicicious activity on your account.
