Where can I send a suspicious email for Apple to analyze

or don't they mess with it? It looks authentic, till Norton blocked it and said it was suspicious. I was tech support to at&t for a number of years and it fooled me! I'm wondering if Norton was wrong, or is this a scam to try and get Apple users' information? Does Apple want to know? Let me know and I'll send it wherever they want it. I don't think it's a trojan. I just think they're fishing for anyone to bite and I think many people will. Cheers.

I request the mods to delete your email address unless you want the world to spam you.

Here's the link if you want to report a phishing email:

Ok thanks to all who replied. I sent the email to Apple. I attached a pic of what it looked like for those interested. When I clicked on "verify your ID," Norton blocked it. It looks real. If it's not, Apple should put out a warning to

It looks anything but real. If you read the link ckuan provided, its fraudulent nature is easily determined. That Apple Support document is the warning you seek. Anyone, anywhere on Earth can compose a phishing email like that in mere moments, and subsequently distribute it to hundreds of millions of people. Never rely upon "anti-virus" products to protect you from those kinds of threats.

The email addresses in your screenshot ought to be omitted. That is how people are exploited for phishing attacks. Screenshots are very helpful but information such as that should be obscured before posting an image to this website or any other publicly accessible medium. To learn how to edit a screenshot read How to edit a screenshot.
