how do i report scammers posing as Apple Support

Scamming you out of money is very big business and for every scammer who is actually caught, a hundred new ones appear. Mostly out of country and, unless the scam causes major damages, law enforcement is not able to track everyone of them. If you were actually scammed, you can file a report at https://www.ic3.gov which is a collaboration of law agencies working on internet crime. Apple could not do a thing anyway.

Good for you on identifying a scam!!

As a fellow Apple user, I am proud of you! 👋🏼😁

Unfortunately, unless you have received an email or text message from the scammer, there is nothing you can do because most of those scams originate from another country and out of jurisdiction.

Remember:

If you receive a suspicious email or SMS text message that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, please email it to reportphishing@apple.com. 

I’ve been reporting this for months and they do nothing. Their unhackable system that they don’t have access to the activity makes them useless. They put through a ticket that nobody ever responds to but the fake IT person !

Hello ~ Where are you seeing these scams? Online? Texts? Email? If you are online you must be extremely careful about the links you visit. Many impersonate Apple to try and gain your personal information such as Apple ID ,credit card info and passwords. As *babowa* wisely stated it’s big business. The following is an Apple link that provides their contact numbers…

The pop up that you received was attempting to gain your close it and ignore it. Report as many as you can and go forward. Unfortunately it’s probably going to only get worse.
