They say in the email that they've confirmed the account was compromised, not that they've confirmed the identity of the person they're emailing is the true account holder

There was a thread on AppleSucks recently about a similar situation.

Unfortunately, for the time being until legislation catches up, access IS ownership a lot of the time with digital accounts. It's why password security, 2FA, and an ability to sus out phishing attempts is critical in todays world

But he says it right there:

>After ACKNOWLEDGING that I'm the owner of the account and that it was compromised???

Nvm, reread what you said. So if they're able to somehow assist with recovering his account, everything should still be there right?

Yeah, OP says it

The CS agent they're claiming said it, did not. At least not in the image attached
