[QUOTE="macgig, post: 1835650, member: 16298"] so my phone rang yesterday, I did not answer. Looking at my phone I see the call came from 1-800-692-7753 which is apples number I think or use to be their support number? I called the number back, and it sounded very legit. Got a recording that sounded very real. I hung up. Seems odd to me, why would apple call me I thought? Then I chatted with apple online since I have apple care support. turns out its a scam, a very convincing one... good thing I'm suspicious by nature of everyone and everything or I could have easily fallen for this... :Oops: Link [URL="https://www.komando.com/security-privacy/beware-this-spoofed-apple-phone-call-looks-so-convincing/528640/"]here[/URL] for info... kim komando article. [B]Remember, Apple does not make unsolicited support phone calls. If you get an unexpected call from someone who claims to be from Apple, it’s most likely a scam.[/B] [/QUOTE]
