Start by forward it to: reportphishing@apple.com, then trash it, next deleting it from both Trash and Archived folders


Being you clicking on something, highly consider....

  • Modifying: your login credentials (Using Both a New eMail and a New Password for each and all sites)
  • Associating: a different method of payment to your account
  • Enabling: Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID and for all other accounts that have such an applicable option


Note: Your phone wouldn't be hacked unless it was jailbroken (typically. the chance of that is purchasing it as a used device).

Forward that eMail off to Apple at reportphishing@apple.com
