This is not about detecting viruses (Apple products are with Microsoft Windows viruses and cannot run them).

This is about detecting scams.

That’s all the evidence you need to block, report and delete the message.

If you receive a suspicious email or SMS text message that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, please email it to [email protected]. 
