How do I report scam report in Apple?

Hi Angie, thanks for sharing your experience. Unfortunately this scam has been going around for about 10 months. 😢

I’m posting the following to help other community members in the future that may receive the same text or email.

“Don't answer suspicious phone calls or messages claiming to be from Apple. Instead, contact Apple directly through our official support channels.”

”To report a suspicious SMS text message that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, take a screenshot of the message and email the screenshot to reportphishing@apple.com.”

You can report phishing at these links and most importantly your local law enforcement.

• Identify legitimate emails from the App Store or iTunes Store.
• FTC Complaint Assistant
• FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center

That is a common scam that you just need to delete, just like all the other scam/spam messages you get. Do not click on any links or call the number to provide any personal information. That will only give the scammers what they want to compromise your account.

• The message did not come from Apple
• There was no suspicious activity on your Apple account
• The number provided is not Apple
• The same message with varying dollar amounts and phone numbers have been seen by many and also posted here.
