Seeing a lot of scam messages using @iCloud.com

Recently receiving a lot of scam messages using @icloud.com posting selling illegal fake apple products or gambling activities or illegal money loans. Screenshot one of them. I didn’t open and scare got virus. Just blocked and deleted the scam messages but apple engineers got to look into it. Don’t just ask users to be careful and do nothing there. We are reliable on your secure tools.

Scammers and anyone else can put any email address they want on an email. It is as easy as you putting anyone's return address on a snail mail envelope. The scam emails likely are not really coming from @icloud.com.

There is nothing Apple can do; crooks are busy sending out scam messages trying to get you to give up personal info or get to your money. Every phone user in the US (and probably worldwide) gets them; even phone companies don't have fool-proof methods because the crooks hide their identity and keep changing their address, so they are pretty much impossible to find. It just means that they bought or stole your email address - the only effective way is to change your email address - until they find that one.
