Someone started using my Apple id as his own

Someone somehow gained access to my apple id, changed the address, phone number, credit card information and bought several applications for his own money. I changed my password and he no longer accesses it, but now I'm scared to put my own credit card information back in. What should I do?

Hi..
Select None in the Edit Payment Information window for the time being. If you want to make purchases, add your credit card info back in as you need it.

  • Someone is using my email id as his apple account.

    Hi,
    Someone is using @gmail.com as his Apple ID. As per google there @gmail.com
    My understanding is that without email verification the ID cannot be used, it is very confusing as even if I am not buying any app still I get an email.
    Please help.

    You'll probably have to contact iTunes store support to straighten this out.  They deal with Apple ID issues all the time.  You can contact them here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • I want to delete someone from using my apple id- the problem is I don't know the security questions and for some reason it is set up to email that person and I dont want that person on my account.

  • I keep getting an email telling me someone has used my Apple id to purchase an app

    Your Apple ID was just used to purchase Grudge Match (2014) from the iTunes Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID. You may also be receiving this email if you reset your password since your last purchase.
    If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not make the purchase yourself.
    If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to <link> to change your password, then see <link> or further assistance.

    kappy is spot on, so follow his advice with one caveat, FORWARD the email (if you still have it) to [email protected] THEN Delete With Prejudice!
    No matter how cleverly designed phishing emails are, the telltale characteristic is the URL displayed when you hover over the live link (some email clients make it a bit more challenging to see the URL, but one can do it). It MAY have 'apple' in it somewhere to give it more credibility, but it should be pretty clear it is not from Apple.com <- ALL apple URLs will have this domain.
    Further, it is not recommended that you paste the body of phishing emails here as the nefarious links the phisher wants you to click is now alive in this forum. Not to worry, I will ask our gracious Hosts to edit the link(s) out for posterity.

  • Someone unknown used my Apple ID, can I get that device off of my account?

    I first received an email saying someone reset my Apple ID password. I then received an email saying that someone signed into iCloud on an  iPhone 3Gs. I did not reset my password and I do not own a 3Gs. I immediately changed my password and  security questions. I am worried about the integrity of my account.  Will the steps I took bump the unknown person off of my account? If not, how can I get that device removed? I have  found nothing regarding the management of devices linked to the  account.

    Same thing has happened to me, but I live in Iran and when I go to this Apple Support link, my country is not listed, so I cannot request to be called or helped, and I cannot delete this unknown device from my Apple ID. What can I do?

  • Someone is using my daughter picture on his/her ac...

    Hi!
    On account "redacted to protect privacy" there is a picture of my doughter (10 years old), which was placed there withoout mine knowledge (I'm her father).
    Owner of the account says that he cannot change picture because he forgot account password.
    I was contacting Skype support and they told me tha they cannot also do anything here becaouse of some "privacy violation".
    What to do to force change the picture of that account.
    Please help

    Hi, Damir,
    Counterpoint to your valid observation, I cannot stop my friends from using (borrowing?  stealing? copying and pasting?) any of my custom-designed avatars or pictures to use as their account avatar or picture, either, even if the image is trademarked or copyrighted.  If I objected on legal grounds or copyright infringement, I would be required to follow the same path as you: contact Skype Customer Service directly to file a complaint; file a complaint with my local law enforcement agency (law enforcement agencies have instruction how to contact Skype via official channels), or send a report via e-mail to [email protected] 
    I appreciate how upsetting all of this is.  As a mother, what angers me is that the other person does not have the ethics or decency to comply with your request. 
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    As you know you intend to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip past in Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started.

  • I found that someone is using my apple id

    Because i have lost my itouch and some has pickde up! I'm still using the same id with my iphone now.
    Now i can scan photos from icloud which she(he) shared with my apple id!
    how can i do

    I believe it would be counterproductive to use your old ID. Change the ID and password, as well as the accounts associated with them. Scanning from the Cloud should work better, since you'd be using your own settings. However, make certain you fully back up the data to make sure you don't lose photos or contacts.

    You should also enable two-factor authentication to prevent future hacking.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5570
    As to the how, there are too many ways to enumerate all of them. This sort of thing happens all the time. Make sure you're using a good password, be cautious on unsecured wireless networks (ie, those that do not require a password), use the two-factor authentication, etc.
