spam invoice requests

I am receiving spam invoice requests, the latest one starts out: "A small reminder from Mac Store Support Team". They want $1099.99. Since I'm sure it is fake, I won't pay of course. It does not show up in my Activity, therefore apparently I can not report it. Are others receiving similar requests? Any advice?

Yes, I have received 4 or 5 of them. Forward to phishing@paypal.com because, as you stated, they don’t show up in my account, so I can’t report them from there. Hasn’t stopped them from coming.

I just forwarded the ones that I'm getting to the phishing address.

What am I supposed to do?  Ignore or Contact Paypal?   

I am getting a fake invoice.   It starts out:

Do NOT call the phony telephone numbers. Forward the email to phishing @paypal.

Forward to phishing@paypal. There are a lot of these going around. They are fake, but check “activity” on your account.

I received a similar message today and sent a copy of the email, as well as a copy of all headers, to PayPal phishing's reporting site. Hopefully, they will act on this. Btw, there is an Etsy seller with that name, but that site has nothing to do with Apple, at least none that are obvious.
