Text message from Apple support?

I'm assuming this is spam, just making sure. I received a text from an Apple support, but email sent from A**************or@linuxmail.org

That message never mentioned you by name.


As a bonus, no communication from Apple would end with ⇢ @linuxmail.org ⇠⚠️


That’s all the evidence you need to block, report and delete the message.


If you receive a suspicious email or SMS text message that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, please email it to reportphishing@apple.com. 
