How do I report suspicious messages only appearing on Apple Watch?

I’m receiving fraud message only on my AppleWatch7 and I am unable to trace the message anywhere on iPhone. My understand is that AppleWatch7 without the sim feature gets all its feed through connected iPhone only. Is it possible that my Apple Watch device id is compromised and that could be the reason for these fraud messages on my Apple Watch? If it’s compromised, is there a way to report this issue to Apple Support to seek help and resolve this issue?

Am no expert on security ... yet Apple support provides online articles (links below) that may help guide you.

You could be allowing apps etc. to send fake notifications:

See about: Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support.

or

If you believe that your Apple account (Apple ID) has been compromised, change your password immediately. Change your Apple Account password - Apple Support


All the best :-)
