    I just received 3 off these emails, and im wondering what exactly do they mean, and if they are really from apple?

    "Apple

    Any tips on what to do would be appreciated, thanks.

    Don't click anything. Just a phishing scam. If you have any kind of account with Apple (do they have any other than iTunes?) go there directly from browser address bar.

    Classic scam. Note they are using your fear of scams to perform a scam. Ironic but very common. As has been noted IF you have such an account check it by accessing it via your browser by typing the address in. DO NOT follow any links on the email.

    I'm 100% sure (a) your account is fine and (b) any links in that email would only take you to a fake page and record your details.
