In the last few weeks I’ve received some obviously fake emails about my Apple or iCloud account. I forwarded each one to the ‘reportphishing’ email address and each time received an “email undeliverable” response saying it was rejected by Apple’s server as spam.
So how else do we report this sort of thing if the reporting email address doesn’t work?
I’ve always just forwarded to ‘reportphishing’ and never had a problem before. I successfully forwarded an email at 4 this afternoon but one I sent at 7:30 got bounced back. Both from the same email address

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. Make sure you send it as an attachment to a new email. If you just forward it, it will probably be rejected. You won’t receive a response.
Did you start a new email sent from your address and attach the fake email before sending? The fake email needs to be sent as an attachment.
I’ll try that next time, might have just forwarded rather than forward as attachment.
cheers.
You are welcome.
