Apple email scams

I have received a scam email supposedly from Apple saying my Apple ID has been locked and that I need to contact them to remedy the situation. I have a screen shot of the email. I deleted the original. I’m wondering if Apple wants to see these. In the past I tried to report similar issues to the FBI site but it doesn’t support photos or copies of emails.

Forward the email as an attachment to [email protected]. It should be in your trash unless you deleted it from there. See-->Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support. And when you get the next one (and you WILL get more) forward it.
