[QUOTE="geezerdh, post: 1647988, member: 340650"] She showed me her greyed out screen with a urgent message that suspicious activity from a third party had threatened the security of the iPad. She was to go to site http://i-phone-support.com or call an 800 # (don't know exact as I had her shut off the iPad)\ Well she had called before she told me. "Jack" told her there was a $40 app she had to buy & install that would prevent this. He immediately asked what credit card she wanted to use. She said she wanted to talk to me, could she call back. Jack said no, he'd call back. When he did I answered the phone-no one was there. Then it rang a few min later & there was "Jack" I got on phone & asked him if he worked for Apple. No No he said, I am the third party contractor. I cannot repeat on a public forum the various acts I told him to commit. I also told him I would like to break his neck if he were around here. Hung up so not sure how "Jack" took it. Am I nuts (wait, don't answer that) I believe this was 100% scam. Just felt like getting it out there. Anyone else heard this one? DH [/QUOTE]
