How to Report Fake Apple Email on Your Own?

The actual goal of scammers is to steal your account and financial information. Their messages usually prompt you to click on a link to update your account information, or they look like a receipt for an Apple purchase that you didn’t make.

There are two types of emails you should be wary of and report:

  1. Phishing email
  2. Spam and other dubious emails

To equip yourself with tools to properly address the spamming problem, you should learn what spam email is and how to unsubscribe from emails.

Report Apple Phishing Email

If you received or acted upon a phishing email designed to look like it is from Apple, you should:

  • Forward it to reportphishing@apple.com
  • If you are sending a message from Mail on your Mac, you should incorporate the information in the heading by selecting the message and choosing Forward As Attachment from the Message menu

Report Spam or Other Suspicious Emails

Should you want to report shady spam or other emails, you should:

  • Forward them to abuse@icloud.com for the ones in your iCloud.com or mac.com inbox
  • Tap Report Junk under the message for the ones you received through iMessage

Phishing Email About Your Apple Purchases

Scammers use different methods, such as spoofed texts and emails, fraudulent pop-ups, fake downloads, or calendar spam, to trick you into sharing your information.

If you have received communication about an iTunes Store or App Store purchase which legitimacy you find dubious, you should look for a couple of things that can help:

  1. Genuine purchase receipts from Apple-affiliated stores (App Store, iTunes Store, iBooks Store, or Apple Music) have your current billing address—something scammers are unlikely to have
  2. You can also review your purchase history in App Store, iTunes Store, iBooks Store, or Apple Music

Legitimate emails regarding your iTunes Store, iBooks Store, Apple Music, or App Store purchases will never ask you to provide the following information over email:

  • Credit card CVV code
  • Social Security number
  • Full credit card number
  • Mother's maiden name
