On Saturday, September 29, 2018 I received a call message that said they were Apple Support. I called the number recorded on my iPhone 6 today (Monday, October 1, 2018). I asked the person who answered my call (833-610-7222) if I would be able to add additional iCloud storage.

Thought this was Apple Tech support to fix a problem with our daughters phone. The indicated they needed to run a patch which required us to provide them with ITune card codes. They said they ran the patch and were going to reimburse us but we had to give them additional ITune card codes. This just snowballed out of control.
