The caller ID says Apple, inc. The call is from a recorded message. Wants me to select 1 or 2 to talk to a support advisor. Their story is that my apple iCloud has been breached and to call them at 201-380-6029. I’ve contacted apple and they told me it was Phishing. This is not a legitimate company, they are not associated with Apple.

I keep receiving phone calls on my landline from an Apple support scam. They keep calling after I told them don’t call my landline and are very unprofessional. They appear to young Indian males with heavy accent on the line. What can I do to stop these unwanted scam calls and I want these criminals prosecuted. Their number is 888-234-4781.

Robo Phone call, Caller ID came up from Apple, Inc., saying that I had a security breach on my Apple iCloud account. I was told to call this number to call Apple and get this corrected. The number to call was 866 987 1897. I received the exact call about an hour later. My neighbor, who does not own an Apple device also received a similar phone call multiple times.

I called Apple directly, ( not from the number given) and reported this and they confirmed that this call was not from Apple and that my account had no issues needing attention.

I received a call from (according to caller ID), Apple Inc. Caller ID # 1-415-848-4445 with a recording telling me my iCloud act had been breached. I did not pick up and answer. They gave a callback number of 1-866-987-1890 and various options via pressing different phone buttons. I knew this was a scam as I had read about it in the paper recently. Perhaps these numbers will help you track them down? Good Luck.

Multiple robotic phone calls indicating a problem with my Apple device. Told me to connect to my computer. I disconnected immediately. Had a feeling it was a scam though I hadn’t heard the news concerning Apple until this morning. So glad I hung up!!!

For 3 months we’ve gotten phone calls (with caller ID reading Apple Inc) once call is answered an automated recording comes on giving you another number to call about a breach in apple security. I’ve contacted Apple at the original number they called from which is legitimately an Apple store, however was assured by Apple that IF there was a breach I wouldn’t be contacted that way. In calling the return number of 844-801-5493 I’m shuffled around between employees and have asked to have our number removed since we have NO Apple products in the home. Today alone I have received 12 calls from this fake company. Please help!!!

Type of a scam Credit Cards

I was emailed on June 5,2017 that I had purchased a game from Apple for $54.00. It gave me an link to click if I wanted to return it. I clicked on the link and it took me to a site called kissmyass.com. I figured that it was a scam so I googled the Apple support phone number and called them directly. The person I talked with checked my email account and assured me that I had been scammed.

I received a call today from someone claiming to be from Apple. The Caller ID on my phone read "Apple Inc." and the number displayed was 1-619-682-3477. A recorded voice told me that my iCloud account had been compromised and I was connected to a "technician." Unfortunately, I foolishly fell for the scam and allowed "Mark" to take control of my computer for a few minutes. I did not reveal any passwords or other login identification, and I did not give him my credit card number. As soon as I realized my mistake, I asked him to disconnect from my computer, although only time will tell whether he planted a virus or retrieved any personal information. I immediately called Apple Support and verified that my iCloud account was secure; then I changed my Apple ID and many of my other passwords.

The recorded message that I received said that I could contact them at 844-619-0681.

This afternoon, I have received at least three more calls from the original number, 619-682-3477. The caller leaves a message asking me to call the 844-619-0681 number.

I will also be reporting this incident to the FCC, FTC, and Apple. I hope that someone catches the criminals who are perpetuating this scam.

Thank you.
