Why do the phishing emails continue even after reporting them to Apple??

Why do the phishing emails continue even after reporting them to Apple?? I have reported these sort of emails to reportphishing@apple.com more than 10 times! However, I continue to get the same emails from the same scam email 2-3 times a day! Are these scam emails not being tracked down?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Hi! Phishing is a huge problem, and really it doesn't have anything to do with Apple. The reason, I think, why they are asking for forwarded emails, is to learn and identify how phishing email looks like, where they are sent from etc. This information MIGHT be used to make better filters at email servers and applications, but nothing can be guaranteed, not from Apple, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo or any of the email providers.


My best tip is to mark all email with the spam button within your email application. This also helps the applications to filter out spam.
