[QUOTE="Cr00zng, post: 1810154, member: 318059"] I don't believe that this scam has any relation to the iOS version. The Apple Inc. contact comes from the iCloud address book, Apple created and added this contact by default. People, who do not use iCloud sync for contact won't see it. The phone call in itself does not send detailed contact information, it is coming from the address book. This is just a "standard" caller ID spoofing, that's relatively easy to do. The caller ID spoofing would work for any other company, family, friends, etc., contacts you may have in your address book. Be careful out there, things are not what they seem to be... [/QUOTE]
