Hello,
In the late afternoon, I received a notification on my Samsung S5 telling me that someone was trying to connect to my Gmail account. I clicked on block the connection.
Following that, I received a series of emails from "Apple". If they are fakes, they are well done! Of course, I did not click on the links in the emails. Here are the "Apple" addresses from the 3 different emails I received.
_ noreply@email.apple.com
_no_reply@email.apple.com
.. The first two were to notify me of a connection from an iPhone 5s (I have a Samsung) to FaceTime and iCloud, and the third was to tell me that I had indeed downloaded the game Pokémon Go. I did have a little laugh though.
I decided to go to my App Store account on my Mac and check my purchases; the game is not part of them.
I immediately changed my Gmail password as a precaution, and I wanted to do the same for Apple, but the problem is that I do not remember my secret questions, and apparently, it is mandatory.
Then I received a text message from Google saying that my password had been changed with a link attached. Okay, but the problem is that the text is from a 06 ?? Does Google use regular numbers? To be honest, 06 21 75 98 59. So I ignored it.
Then I went to my Gmail account and realized that someone from MY city had logged into my Gmail account with a Mac an hour earlier. However, it's not one of mine!
I received another email from Apple when I tried to change my password, and the address was different again
_appleid@id.apple.com
_do_not_reply@apple.com
And when I logged into iCloud
_ noreply@email.apple.com
That's all, I find this very strange. It's quite a long read, but thank you for taking the time.
What do you think?
Here are some screenshots, another issue, there is normally no dot "." between the two names of my address.
Thank you for your help.
Configuration: Mac OS X (10.10.5) / Safari 9.1.1
