App Store scam

Does this look legit to you? "Your receipt has ready on attachment" sounds awkward to me and when you click on the info sheet, it requests your Social Security number (not just the last 4 numbers).

If it isn’t legit, I should probably change my password to be on the safe side. Is that hard to do?

Yes. Good eye. This is a total scam. Several things give it away. The award grammatical errors, the bogus links, the obvious fact that a pool app wouldn't cost $30, and so on. It's designed to try to entice you into clicking their link out of caution to resolve the potential charge. None of this is true. All fake. No need to change your appleID password at all. They don't have access to your account. I seem to recall you have 2 factor authentication turned on as well which makes any account secure unless the thief has stolen one of your devices physically.

If you still want to reset your AppleID password, you can always do so at appleid.apple.com but keep in mind you may have to re-enter it on several devices after changed. I would not bother with it based on this.
