You may want to browse through Apple support's online article for tips on safety and security.

Recognize and avoid social engineering schemes including phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


Also above article says: Eg:

"If you receive a suspicious email that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple,

please forward it to reportphishing@apple.com. 1


"1. To report an SMS text message, take a screenshot of the message and send it via email.

If you forward a message from Mail on your Mac, include the header information by selecting the message and choosing Forward As Attachment from the Message menu."
