How to report scam email?

Apple won't send you an email/text telling you your account is disabled/restricted  or will be disabled/restricted. You will find out the next time you try to log in somewhere.

Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address.  The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information by email such as Social Security numbers, your Mother’s maiden name or full credit card numbers .

The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.

Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams

Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store

Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it. You can forward as an attachment by going to Mail/Message/Forward as attachment. Or control - click on the email and select Forward as attachment. You won’t receive a response.

I have received 2 emails purporting to be from Apple. The first was from Apple ID stating my account was locked - Case number: 7243268 and asked for all my contact and payment information. I did not provide my payment when it occurred to me that this was a scam.

The second email came today stating I purchased a game for $23 and payment was successful. It also provided a link to Apple Support (that looked real) with any questions

I then signed into my Apple account and do not see that I have been charged for this bogus charge.

Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com as an attachment.

Received a suspicious email which indicates it is from APPLE. I doubt it. Where can I send this, to report it or confirm its legitimacy?
