Attention all apple product users.. I recently received a couple of calls on my phone purporting to be from Apple Care notifying me of a breach of their cloud services. Finding this a little "phishy", I called apple care directly and discussed this situation with a customer support rep. He reports that this is a phishing scam as apple will not, under all but the most dire of circumstances, call you about such things. They will attempt to notify by email only or they will require you reset your password credentials via their apple ID website. If you get one of these calls, report it to [email protected] and include any information you can get (such as caller ID info, time of call, etc).
It appears that the spoofers are getting smarter and using a VOIP line and caller ID spoofing service to call phones in an attempt to build a list of active numbers for use in other scams (like IRS, your local bank, etc.). anyway, report these calls as you get them. thanks, Eric Oyen -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
