I have received a very professional looking email supposedly from Apple about "keeping My Account safe"
wants to set up recovery contacts, learn how to reset psw, keep contact info up to date etc.
The links resolve to https://c.apple.com/......... blah blah and also the email is from appleaccount@insideapple.apple.com
I strongly suspect this is a very professional looking spam - just looking for opinions?
iPhone 11, iOS 18
Not sure if this helps but I received this same email this morning. In the source email I found:

All that being said I'd still go directly to my account rather than click on the link provided.
My 2 cents
The email address is appleaccount@insideapple.apple.com. If there is an email address link appleaccount@insiderapple.apple.com (with the r after inside) then it will most likely be fake.
Why is it that Apple has not responded to this and other emails and others regarding whether or not this is a scam?
Why have you, Apple not responded?
Why have you, Apple not responded?
Apple is not here. This is a user-to-user site.
Where exactly are you looking for Apple to respond?
Can we get an official statement from Apple on appleaccount@insiderapple.apple.com emails?
i did also send this to reportphishing@apple.com after posting here - still awaiting a reply on that...
I'm glad I am not the only one who noticed the r in the aforementioned email address.
Possible scam email
