Thumb Rules:
I think it’s a fake spam message from browser or calendar. If it’s from browser, ignore it and don’t click anything on the malicious site. Clear Browser Data. If it’s from calendar, go to calendar > Calendars (bottom of the screen), find the suspicious one, scroll down and delete/unsubscribe it.
Hello sir,
I protect my personal information with the utmost care. I would never share my phone password or any other Apple account details. I just wouldn’t do something like that. Additionally, I have never jail broken any iOS devices since iPhone 4. I wouldn’t do it as I have no knowledge of how to do it and prefer my privacy and security over that. As for phishing, that I can’t guarantee but I do know I do everything I can to protect my home and everything in it. That includes my privacy, safety, finances, comfort and security. I have trusted Apple with my privacy for 11 years now.
