I have received and email two days in a row stating my Apple ID has been locked.

Does Apple do anything, investigate possible scams? I have gotten an email two days in a row stating my Apple ID is locked with a link to verify my account. I don't ever click on them because I know scammers do this to get your information. But I can't figure out how to report it and if any action can be taken to stop getting the scam attempt. Obviously I haven't been locked or I would not have been able to reach this forum since I needed to sign in with my account info.

See the information in Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support including the following:


Please report suspicious emails and messages: 

  • If you receive a phishing email that's designed to look like it’s from Apple, send it to reportphishing@apple.com. 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.
