First thing, never go to any url from a 3rd party. 2nd, never call a phone number from an email. 3rd, if any email claims your account has been charged (PayPal, Amazon, wayfair, Apple, etc) and you need to go to this url or call this number, DON’T, always go to the parent company in question to see if this so called charge is legitimate. 4th, I never go to another company to download an iPad/iphone/Apple TV app, I always go to the Apple App Store to download an app.
To make things less stressful, get a subscription to LifeLock and configure this to always alert you for any transaction on any of your credit cards, brokerage accts, bank accounts, dark web, etc. I’ve done this for years and if you go thru Sam’s Club, you get a decent reduction in monthly cost.
