Getting a email from app store

I keep getting a weird email from the App Store that I will be charged for a purchase. When I hit reply it’s a weird email with a bunch of missed spelled words in the subject. Wondering if there is anything I can do to stop it.

iPhone 8, iOS 12

That sounds like a phishing email.

The first link above has instructions on how to report it to Apple but that won't necessarily stop it. Depending on your email provider or app you can have it classified as spam or junk.
