Locked account?
I’m receiving e-mails informing me that my account it’s locked. Is it possible? I’m using all my apple devices just fine...

Scam/phishing. Apple won't send you an email/text telling you your account is disabled/restricted or will be disabled/restricted. You will find out the next time you try to log in somewhere.
Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address. The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information by email such as Social Security numbers, your Mother’s maiden name or full credit card numbers .
The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.
Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams
Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store
Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it. You can forward as an attachment by going to Mail/Message/Forward as attachment. Or control - click on the email and select Forward as attachment. You won’t receive a response.
You are welcome. Make sure you send it as an attachment to a new email. If you just forward it, it will probably be rejected.
Thanks a lot. That’s just what i was looking for....to report these e-mails.
I’ve just forwarded the 2 e-mails and got back response from both...”thank u for reporting blablabla”. I guess it worked with forward. Still, i’ll send also as an attachment just for double check :D
It sounds like the emails went through. Others have reported having them rejected.
