Email address to report phishing rejects phishing evidence
I have received a phishing email purportedly from Apple. I know for a fact that it is a phishing email, because it is addressed to one of my email addresses that is unknown to Apple. I have tried to send the suspicious email to the reportphishing@apple.com address as a straightforward "forward". This was returned with the remark "Recipients have complained about included content (B-URL)". I tried to forward the email informing me that the delivery was refused with the original email as an attachment and received the same refusal from Apple. Then I tried to send the original suspicious email directly as an attachment. No luck, got the same refusal.
I mean, really, I am not stupid and will not respond to phishing emails like this anyway. I just thought it would be nice to warn Apple about it and maybe save someone else some trouble, who might not be quite as mistrustful as I am. But refusing to receive suspicious emails with an account that is made explicitly for people to report suspicious emails.... *** Apple???
