Called the number above on an email that someone was trying to purchase pokemon go on my Apple Id. I looked up the phone # for apple and this number came up. I called and they said someone had taken control of my account and to keep from using my debit card so they didn't get access I needed to purchase the google play cards. I purchased $700 and had text from 408-809-8130 saying they would put the money back in my acct and even included the last of my debit card #'s. Since I looked up the number I didn't think and I had just lost my dad on Nov 23. Would you able to go after them and get my money back. I have a police report in Raymore, MO 64083 report # *********

I received a suspicious robocall message on my home phone. Identified themselves as Apple. Stated my Apple i Cloud account could be breached. Don't make any calls checking on banking information. It stated to press number 1. I do not have the phone number it came from. It threw me that they called my landline.

Scammers betraying to be Apple company..when setting up phones if asked repeatedly for Apple ID or ICloud ID, or if it keeps saying the IDs are incorrect and you know they are correct don’t put them in again. They will try to take control over your device then your other devices and change your email passwords to your accounts including social media.. You can change your passwords, factory reset it won’t matter, change companies, change devices, they are still there. Someone has jail broken my phone without physically having my phone..even when they say it can’t happen..”IT CAN HAPPEN”

I was recently scammed with fraudulent charges as I was coerced to buy gift cards by some scammers posing as Apple Computer Tech Support. I received a phone call on 1/27/20 from a caller who identified themselves as Apple Support from an actual phone number that belongs to Apple Headquarters Support Department. He told me that my iCloud account had been hacked and that my information had been made available on the internet and the 429 hackers had already tried to get into my account. At first I didn't believe this was a legitimate call and I told him so. He told me to check the Apple web page and see that the phone number was really Apple, which I did. He told me in order to remove all these hackers I would have to obtain gift cards from companies in my area who are their partners in this in order to eliminate these hackers. Since I wasn't a corporate client, this was the only way to get rid of the hackers and that Apple would reimburse me every penny. I again questioned him and said I didn't believe him and he put me in contact with a manager, Alex Bailey, who was the Account Security Manager who would be working with me to eliminate these hackers. He told me that the only way they can work on these was to have these specific gift cards which Apple would reimburse me for. I had recently been hacked on my email as friends received bogus requests for money emails so I believe him.

After I made one charge on Citibank, they immediately sent me an email that looked exactly like emails I have received from Apple in the past showing a reimbursement to my Citibank account. I was asked to make more gift card purchases to eliminate more hackers that were still accessing my account. Every time I did this they sent me an email showing reimbursement from Apple. Also Alex told me to check information on Google that referred to IOS 13.3 showing that Apple was working with their customers to eliminate these hacking issues, which I did read an article from Forbes that Apple was having issues with their operating system.

I kept questioning Alex and he kept giving me legitimate information of problems with Apples new Catalina operating system which I had just downloaded.

I did call the real Apple number during the time I wasn't in contact with them but, unfortunately, the recording at Apple kept telling me my agreement was out of date and I was not covered to access Apple Support. I also realized that I should not have continued with these gifts cards but they convinced me that my computer was still under the control of these hackers.

I have reported this scam to the local police and the Federal Trade Commission but I see that no further action has come from this.

I am 74 years old and a widow living on a fixed income of Social Security and still working part-time to cover my monthly expenses. These thieves scammed me out of $11,000. I have asked the two banks that were involved- Citibank and Capital One, but they have said that this was not a fraud transaction because it was made by me and that I am responsible for these charges.

This is a devastating issue for me financially. No matter what I told these thieves that this was a scam, they countered with legitimate reasons why it wasn't.

I was hoping that these two banks would work with and forgive these charges but I have been turned down and don't know what I can do next. I have paid $1,000 back on one of the accounts as the bill came due today but without some action from these two banks, I'm afraid my financially situation is in a critical situation as these bills are due in a week or so. Can you do anything to assist me with these two banks? What can I possibly do to have some assistance to have these two banks realize this is fraud?

I have attached a photo of a couple of the emails I received.

On your question on whether they received any of my personal information, I'm sure they did as they asked me to let them stay on my computer overnight to work on eliminating the hackers.

Getting numerous calls from this phone number to our landline but we do not answer... in fact we don't even have a phone hooked up right now since we are now exclusivly using our cell phones. We can see the call attempts on our television screen and our call log is recording the date / time of each attempt. Call attempts are coming in at a pace of about three per hour.

ROBO call - Mollie advising us that our ICloud has been hacked and to wait to speak with a representative who can help me. Then a woman gets on the phone. When I asked her who she was she hung up.

I keep receiving phone calls and multiple messages from “Mollie” claiming that there was a problem with our Apple iCloud account. I was instructed to call back so that Tech Support could help troubleshoot and repair the problem. One consumer reported that the number on her caller id was 408-606-5775, while she was asked to call back using 844-889-9156.

They have called 5 times in the last hour alone....

Picked up the phone, it was an automated machine (Mollie), saying our iCloud account was hacked. Asked to press 1 to connect to tech suppor right away. Hung up, googled the phone, and surely enough, it wasn't Apple. So much WOW!

I have been getting calls from this number approximately every half hour purporting to be from Apple. I have a robocall interceptor so it only rings once, but I know Apple would not call and I have looked online that this is a scam.
