This is iMessage. You have to prove you own a phone number to send iMessages from it.

I wonder if the same flow applies to text messages, since as I understand it - they're all integrated.

The thing I'm thinking of it:

1. Find the number of $AppleEmployee

2. Spoof a text message from $AppleEmployee to yourself.

3. Report that as spam.

Would 3 even work, and if so - would it have any impact on that employee's Apple account.

Don't even spoof - just text them a "hey Bob, really sorry to hear that your mother got cancer - please let me know if there's anything I can do to help the family - I'm in the area tomorrow". Chances of a "sorry, wrong number" response are fairly high. Report that as spam and it will have all the legit traffic flow on it.

I really hope their spam algorithm is able to take into consideration who messages first.

Telegram does at least.
