It is a Scam:


I. Report this to Apple:

What you are reporting is a scam. So, report it to Apple and modify your credentials. Do as I've Instructed here: Using the Photos App to Report Scams - User Tips


II Did you Interact with it?

If you did not interact with the messages, then you can ignore it. If you did (i.e. Provide personal info), then you may need to take thinks a step further.

Secure your Info:

If concerned for device access, then (A)verify your devices, and (B)secure your account. Open a new eMail addressee d use that for your Apple ID.


A. Verify your Devices:

Verify that all devices are logged in to your account, by using this link: Check your Apple ID Device List to See where you're Signed in - Apple Support


then...


B. Modify your Credentials:

Having been scammed, someone likley has your credentials. So, by all means, modifying them.
