Phishing emails supposedly from Apple

Phishing - and all other scams - are related to your email address or phone number being known or easily guessed by the criminals.

If the content appears to be from Apple, it is because Apple has a HUGE user base and thus is a "good bet" for the nefarious characters that ANY email address has an Apple ID

The only way to stop phishing - appearing to be from Apple or anyone else - is to have a brand new email address that has a username as secure as a strong password -- and THEN not using it for anything else but logins (no emails to family, friends or colleagues)

Apple tends not to acknowledge feedback but I am pretty sure they do take note.
