Smishing report gmail fail

I received a suspicious text message from "Alert" saying my HSBC account has been disabled, along with a (dodgy) url link to restore.
I don't have an account with HSBC.
I decided to forward the text to the phishing reporting email address at HSBC so they could investigate.
Got a failure notification from Gmail saying my email had been blocked!
Presumably it looked suspicious...

Basically everything I would've done. Just make sure to delete it from your phone as well to make sure you don't accidentally click it down the line.0
