Q: phishing email?

Has anybody received a suspicious email supposedly from apple customer service about a purchase from itunes store from a computer or device not previously associated with that ID. ?

I'd like to send it to Apple to verify if it is a phishing attempt but can't find any email to send it to.

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information.

You can forward it to reportphishing@apple.com but probably won't get a response. Hovering your cursor over the link in it may reveal this.

thanks for the quick response and a link to send the email to. I did think it was a scam and wanted to let someone at apple know about it.

Have the same thing, it even directs you to a replica site. It then tells you your id is blocked. see Attached.
