I was wondering too. Got the same but deleted them both. Was just a question of time until that pain swap over to .me/.cloud.
Now with more user maybe the focus of spammer move to us ?

As I have never ever given out that email address, or used it on any website, yes, I do believe Apple has given it out / had it taken from them / someone has targeted mobileme somehow.
Maybe you could read the thread properly from the start before you start posting cr@p please?
I got the same exact emails mentioned in this thread. How disappointing.
Mail filters it as "junk" but still puts it in my inbox? What good does that do?

While I highly doubt that Apple has given out any information, it's possible that it was a problem with their spam filters. It's very possible that there is spam coming to your account that you're completely unaware of, and these two just flew through the filters.
Yep, Dr Oz has appeared with me too, never had any problems before, strange that all icloud emails are getting them now.
I got the Dr Oz and did the same . I was very surprised as I don't use my @mac address at all for emails , only iCloud stuff .
Just moving them to your Junk folder automatically in webmail reports them to spam@me.com.
From Apple: Mark spam messages as junk or move them to the Junk folder in webmail. These messages are automatically reported to spam@me.com.

That is only from webmail at iCloud.com. Marking as junk or dragging to the junk folder in the Mail app does not report to spam@me.com.
This brings up a good point... why the heck doesn't Apple have this happen in Mail app also.
I been getting spam for s while too but only in 1 @me account (have 3) i even get spam from apple email

Seriously. We should also be able to 'mark as spam' on iOS.
Exactly, people always say that icloud.com cant be access on iphone/ipad because the options are in the settings but theres a couple of things you can only do it on the website.
Spam in iCloud email account?
I have no idea how my email address got added to this but i keep getting these spam ads from people with apple domains. how do I stop it, not just block it?

Apple's e-mail system is very half-assed. The security is terrible compared to Google's too - two step authentication for GMail is excellent.
Not got any spam on mine thus far though.
A lot of others have reported getting the same spam emails.
