If this is distressing you think about using a new account for yourself, transferring email to the ne one and deleting the old email account
yes, I know itâs a pain but it might be the easiest way
and it will cut the link to you

I have no idea if my mum is doing it or if a bad actor is doing it, but I keep getting emails from Apple support addressed to my mum to saying
âWe have reviewed your request, and access to your account (my email @gmail.com) has been denied.
Sincerely,
Appleâ
It looks legit, the email itâs from looks legit, and I suspect itâs because a long time ago Iâd helped my mum set up her phone and she didnât have an email at the time. But I donât know how to give it back to her or whatever, thereâs nothing actionable in the email, and itâs giving me a stress headache looking at emails addressed to mum. Itâs making me feel really anxious, that to resolve this I might have to break my no-contact.
Fuuuuuuuck

It would be harder tbh, the email I used is my main one I use for important stuff. Iâm just going to ignore them and have Gmail send them to a junk folder
Can you put a different email on there? It might be possible to change it
Donât do it
Can you just like close the account? Otherwise Iâd remove any payment methods and personal information and set a really strong password (with 2 factor) and ignore
Is there another person you can use to communicate with her?
Nope. Iâm not in contact with her or her entire family.
Iâm just gonna take Forceâs advice and ignore, have Gmail send those apple emails direct to a junk folder I think đ
Gotta do what you gotta do. đ
Have you checked with your mum if sheâs trying to access the account and is maybe getting the PW wrong? If not, then itâs a hack attempt.
I havenât spoken to her since before COVID, Iâm just going to ignore them like Force suggested đ
Oh of course, I remember now youâve shared some tough stuff with us regarding the parental relationship. Yeah just ignore. Not your problem.
