Dont get scammed by fake Apple Support calls!





If you get a call from someone claiming to be from Apple Support, and that your iCloud account has been compromised, Hang Up immediately. They are FAKE!

Reports are flying across the web and twitter about fake Apple Support calls trying to piggy back on the "iCloud Hack" news of last week. Including MacWorld writer Glen Fleishman, who says his wife was called at least 6 times: 


"Earlier on Monday, my wife let me know that “Apple Support” had called about iCloud security. She was dubious, and rightly so. “Apple” then called five more times (and counting). Suffice it to say, it wasn’t Apple, but fraudsters trying to piggyback on reports that a major breach of iCloud credentials could render hundreds of millions of accounts vulnerable."

KIRO 7 news in Seattle reported the victims were then asked for personal information to verify the account. RED FLAG!

Victims have reported an automated call, that claims to be "Apple Support" and warns their account has been compromised. The victim is then routed to a human or "advisor" for "help".

Per Apple
 

  • Always confirm the caller's identify before you provide any sensitive information over the phone. If you get an unsolicited call from someone claiming to be from Apple, hang up and contact us directly.
  • never provide personal account information—including your Apple ID password, credit card info, or other personal information—by email or text message, and use extreme caution when clicking links in messages or sharing information over the phone. Instead, visit the company's website directly or call them yourself.
Apple can be reached at 1-800-275-2273

People who have fallen for this scam have apparently been bilked and had bank accounts drained



Spread the news and share this post!! And if you get a call from "Apple Support", Hang Up!
