The person claiming to be with Apple wanted me to buy a $100 iTunes gift card and give him the 16 digit number on the back and then he would reimburse me by putting the money back into my account by a debit or credit card. He claimed he could help locate my lost iPhone if I would first buy the $100 apple card. I called this number by looking on google for a phone number for Apple. I called Verizon to see if Apple charged $100 to help locate a lost phone and they told me that it was a scam and gave me the correct number for Apple. The person called me back when I didn't call back with an ITunes card number and I let him know that I found out he was a scam. He told me that it wasn't a scam that he would reimburse my $100. I told him not to call again that I had already been helped by Apple at no charge and I wasn't giving him $100. He called back two more times. Once I didn't answer and the last time I again told him that I wasn't falling for his scam and not to call again.

Automated message using poor english. Most likely translated. Telling me my icloud account(which I do not have) has suspicious activity and to contact them to resolve.
They made a very believable fake apple site and asked me to input my info.

Received multiple automated calls today claiming to be Apple and we have had a breach. Several messages on our answering machine and then when I was home. The calls are every 30 minutes. When I answered one of the calls, it was an automated message. As I waited on the line, a man claiming to be an Apple representative asked why I was calling. I said, you contacted me. He said yes you have a iCloud breach. When I asked for an 800 number to call back to verify that this is truly Apple, he disconnected the call. We have continued to receive multiple calls from this number. When I called this number, it is an Apple store.

Got a call from apple saying my account had been breached.
I became suspicious when they asked for my social security number, and then I tried using my Apple ID to purchase something and it wasn’t actually compromised.

I was on the internet and the phone was locked and an ad popped up to call this number because illegal activity was processed on my phone and when you call the number it claims to be apple. It not. They have you pay them with 100 dollar iTunes cards so that they can unlock your phone. They will continue to do this until you run out of money.

Found this number on google looking for a number to apple warranty. I needed a replacement phone as mine was defected. They asked for a $200 security deposit that would be refunded when the replacement phone arrived. I tried to give them my credit card number they said they could only receive payment through iTunes cards. I gave the $200 the phone never came upon calling again they ignored my calls at first then when they finally answered let me know they needed to be $100 dollar cards as i had given 4 $50 cards. They asked for another hundred. For the mistake on the $50 dollar gift cards. Please do not give your money. I am out 200 dollars.

I was contacted by an "Applecare consultant and Survey coordinator" through a social media app on my phone. Then I received a Fedex package through the mail today. They want me to buy 2 Apple gift cards, one for $2000 and another for $350. They sent me a "cashier's check" for $2750. They said I could keep $400 for myself but I should text them as soon as I deposited it.
