I just found an email from “apple” that I suspect may be a fake. Either that or someone has hacked my account.
It shows a receipt for a purchase I did not make.
If hacked I need help to fix this. If fake, I would like to know where to turn it in?
Thanks!

Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address. The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information by email such as Social Security numbers, your Mother’s maiden name or full credit card numbers .
The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.
Copy of receipt for purchase did not make
