I keep getting paypal phishing texts on my Iphone 11

but when I try to forward them to the paypal phishing addy [ phishing@paypal.com ] it simply sends the text to me.

this is the second time I have tried to do this and it does it every time

iPhone 11

  • If you receive a suspicious email that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, please forward it to reportphishing@apple.com.1  
  • To report a suspicious SMS text message that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, take a screenshot of the message and email the screenshot to reportphishing@apple.com.
  • To report spam or other suspicious emails that you receive in your iCloud.com, me.com, or mac.com Inbox, send them to abuse@icloud.com.
  • To report spam or other suspicious messages that you receive through Messages, tap Report Junk under the message. You can also block unwanted messages and calls.

We hope this helps.
