Someone using my email address to set up a new Apple ID

Hi!
I keep receiving notification emails as someone is trying to/has set up a new Apple ID by using my email address.
This person is trying to verify it as primary but, as a matter of fact it is me who gets all the 'spam'.
I don't know how to get in touch with this person as dropping him/her an email would mean writing to myself.
How can I report this issue to Apple?
Thank you!

using the email address in question, send an email to [email protected] and request to "unlink" your email address from the unknown skype account.

  • Someone used my email address to create an apple id. I changed the password because it is freaking me out. I want to report it to Apple but dont know how to go about it. I want the Apple ID deleted. How do I go about that?

    Someone used my email address to create an Apple ID. I logged in to appleid.apple.com and I changed the password because it is freaking me out. I want to report it to Apple but dont know how to go about it. I want the Apple ID deleted. How do I go about that? Is there also a way to ensure that the email address wont be used again by this person to create another Apple ID?
    This is compounded actually by a Gmail issue. I have had this email address for ages, since the start of the beta. But lately in the last year or so, I am getting mail that seems to be intended for other people but it is using my email address. It is probably one of them who created the Apple ID.

  • HT5622 I keep getting emails stating that my password had been changed but the name attached to the message is not minr but it's my email address. Is someone using my email address to sign into FaceTime or other Apple Programs?

    Of you're being phished. There are a lot of phishing scams going around right now with bad guys trying to get access to apple ID's.
    Anytime you want to verify the info, do not click on any links in the mail, but open up iTUnes on your computer and check things out that way.
    If you want to verify if anything is wrong http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/
    contact apple on your own and see what they say.

  • I've had an Apple ID under an old email address. I have a new Apple ID under my current email. Is there a way to link or merge the two together? I don't remember the old password and that email address is no longer active.

    I've had an Apple ID under an old email address. I have a new Apple ID under my current email. Is there a way to link or merge the two together? I don't remember the old password and that email address is no longer active. If I cannot link or merge the two, how can I activate the old ID on the new computer if that email account is no longer active?? Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance!!

    You cannot merge accounts.
    You need to sign into the old account on your computer.

  • Someone Using My email Address to Send Spam

    Does anyone know how to stop and preventing someone from using my email address? It says it's coming from Verizon. net moblie. I thought verizon put measures in place to prevent this sort of thing from happening?

    Use a strong, complex password. Make sure the answer to your Secret Question isn't something that can be easily guessed or searched on the internet. Always check before entering your login info into ANY page that it is a legitimate Verizon page. Never give your username and password to anyone, even if they claim to be from Verizon. (Anyone within Verizon that needs your login info can already access it from their systems.)

  • Someone using my email address

    From yesterday I have had hundreds of Failure Notices saying we were unable to send your email successfully go all these weird email accounts ending in .ru amongst others. Someone is obviously using my email it looks like in Africa. They start at 6.25 at night right through to 3.30am. I changed my as sword at 3.40 am yesterday morning after googling it but they came through all last night again. I am very worried . Should I shut down my email address?? Is that permanent ? Do I need to start a new account with a brand new email address? Please help!

    Because you post this here on Nokia Discussions. Did that happen with your Nokia Mail address?

  • How can i use an email address with an apostrophe as my apple ID

    I need use a school email address for a new Apple ID but it has an apostrophe, and Apple does not see it as a valid address. How can I use that email?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Juduth.
    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • Why can I not use my info@ mail address to set up a new Apple ID?

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to change my Apple ID from a @gmail.com to an info@ but keeping settings and content as before.
    Is that possible? Am I allowed to use an info@ as Apple ID?

    If you are sure you have never used it for any Apple ID in the past my best guess is that Apple "knows" that "info" is a reserved *nix UID, along with others, such as "postmaster", "root", "abuse", etc. If it's your domain why don't you add a new email address just for your Apple ID. It's what I did with the server I manage.

    I had the same problem. I couldn't figure out how, so I took my iPad 2 to the Apple Store that was near me and had the folks at the Genius Bar change it.

    Hi, Gustavo, and welcome to the Community,
    I know it will sound ridiculous, but if the new account was created using your e-mail address, change that account's password to take control of the account!  Remove any of your (or their) information - leave all profile settings as "blank" or "not specified."  I would recommend changing the passwords of your Skype account and your e-mail account as well, as proactive measures.
    Then, please report this incident to Skype Customer Service.  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 wish to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request.
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • Why can't i use another email address to face time?

    I am trying to face time and imessage someone with another email address that is connected to my apple id but it is not working. Please help!

    You don't FaceTime with an email address. You FaceTime with an Apple ID. Apple IDs use, as the user name, an email address but they are not the email address.

  • HT5624 Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

    Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

    If a person is using your email address, you should change your email password and make sure there aren't any forwards to some strange email address.
    An example if you were using gmail, under account settings, a forward can be set up to send messages to another email address.
    If your email address is say, you own domain, such as somename@somename dot com, make sure the forwards are forwards you set up.
    If your email account was hacked and the bad guy has access, you need to cut him off, first by changing the password and second cut off any message forwarding to the bad guy if he set it up.  Just changing the password would keep a bad guy out, but if the bad guy set up a forward, he will still get your email.
    A confirmation from Apple would have come to your email address in order to confirm that Apple ID.  If you are getting the other person's purchase notifications, you would have gotten a confirmation of that account from Apple.

  • Someone has been using my email address as their Apple ID

    Hello,
    Someone has been using MY email address as their Apple ID.  When I started setting up my own Apple ID with my own email address, I eventually had to reset the associated password, thinking I had made this Apple ID earlier.  Then when I logged into the account, it turned out to be someone else's account.  Help, how do I fix this so I have my Apple ID associated with my email address and the other person knows to change their Apple ID email address?
    Thanks!

    I had this happen a few years ago. Someone created an iTunes account using one of my Gmail email addresses. I got the email to verify the account.  I verified it, and then hit the forgot my password link. Reset the password and logged in. There I could see the ladies name, address and credit card. I changed it all to my name and removed the payment info and never entered my card number so they account could not be used.
    Never had a problem again.

  • HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and the new Apple TV, both setup with my email as the Apple ID.  I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID.  Is a second iTumes Match subscription required for her to use our music from iCl

    I have an iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV, both setup with my email address as the Apple ID.  I subscribed to iTunes Match so our music could be played from iCloud.  I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID.  When I try to turn on iMatch so she can play our music from iCloud on her new iPad it tells me that she needs a subscription to iTunes Match.  Is it Apple's intent that we would need two iTunes Match subscriptions?  If not, how do I accomplish what I want to get done?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.
