SUSPECT EMAIL

I keep finding mail in my junk folder that say "Your system is infected with five viruses". I dump them without opening them. Any other suggestions? Should I be concerned?


Thank you.

Just about anyone with an email account is destined to get at least a half dozen of these a day.



Seriously? Makes you wonder just who they think they're fooling.


Any other suggestions?


iCloud Mail allows you to create a number of email "aliases" to be used for online purchases (for example) and can just be disposed of when they become too clogged with spam: Add and manage email aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support.


iCloud+ conveys even more choices: Create and delete email addresses for a custom domain on iCloud.com - Apple Support.


Should I be concerned?


Nope. Keep doing what you're doing. The Mail app is sending them to Junk as it should.
