Phishing Emails

I select the Phishing email, and then Message menu : Forward as Attachment. That opens a compose window with the phishing email attached. No keyboard short cut for this though. Then reportphishing@apple.com and click send.

Hi, perhaps you can help me out too. A few hours ago i received an email stating that I’d purchased hIdemyass app which I didn’t. I suspect to be a phisingmail so I have report it. However even though I haven’t clicked on the confirmation link I did open the ‘receipt’ attachment. I wonder whether that can cause any problem?

I would really

appreciate any form of help!

That receipt attachment could be a delivery mechanism for malware — or not.

If you opened it in Safari, I would clear all history, and then quit Safari. On the next launch of Safari, press and hold the shift key, and then clear the cache from the Developer menu that you enabled on the Advanced tab of Safari Preferences.

It might be worth running the free Malwarebytes too.

Forward them to reportphishing@apple.com as attachments.

Check the documentation for the mail application or webmail service you're using.

If you are using Apple's Mail program, start a new email, then look at the top right side, and click on the paperclip or go Mail/Files/Attach Files.

You are welcome.

I've tried that several times, all have been blocked. Is there any other way to report bad email to Apple?

Try abuse@apple.com.

Ok tried that twice - sending from my mac.com/icloud.com address. The block message comes back to me through gmail though. I can't figure out what is going on!

Try sending it from an account other than your iCloud account.
