Attempted Fraud

Today I received an email from notify@getsupport.apple.com alleging that I had purchased 3 items from 'App Store' for my MacBook Pro against my Apple ID. The email was quite well cloned using some potentially legitimate phrases but giving me the opportunity to 'click' on some options or informations which would undoubtably have led to unwanted malware or similar.

This email addy should be publicised for warning purposes and as I cannot find a dedicated Apple Support area for attempted fraud I would be grateful for some support here.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), iOS 9.3.2

Helo there,

I got a similar email few hours ago. I looked in the header and there was some doubtful senders like "BY1PR15CA0023.namprd15.prod.outlook.com". There is some links leading to the officiel Apple website, but one of them, the one supposed to cancel my fake order, redirected me to a phishing website. I was bright enough to not enter my informations there and then I found this ticket.

Sorry if my english isn't perfect, I'm basically a french canadian.
