[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1835662, member: 110816"] It is trivial to spoof the incoming number to be anything with VOIP services. The problem is that Apple Support DOES allow for you to be called back by them when you need to talk to them as opposed to waiting in a queue "for the next available representative" and this scam is playing on that. Scams like these use the idea that if you call hundreds of people, a few will actually engage since they were actually expecting a call. So being suspicious is always good. [/QUOTE]
