It appears genuine enough, but you can tell better by tapping on the sender's email address. If it throws up an address that hasn't got the apple name in it, then it's a phishing mail. I get them from time to time and they perpetrators usually have an email address that ends with a 2 letter code that determines the actual source e.g de for Germany, ro for Romania, po for Poland etc.


You need to check with Apple Support if it is from Apple, or forward it to Apple's phishing address to report it.

Apple's phishing report address is here:

Report phishing attempts and other suspicious messages to Apple

To report a suspicious email, forward the message to Apple with complete header information. To forward the email: In macOS Mail, select the email and choose Forward As Attachment from the Message menu at the top of your computer screen.

These email addresses are monitored by Apple, but you might not receive a reply to your report.

  • If you receive what you believe to be a phishing email that's designed to look like it’s from Apple, please send it to reportphishing@apple.com
  • To report spam or other suspicious emails that you receive in your iCloud.com, me.com, or mac.com Inbox, please send them to abuse@icloud.com.
  • To report spam or other suspicious messages that you receive through iMessage, tap Report Junk under the message.
