I got an email that looked like it was from Apple saying my Apple ID had been used for some unauthorized purchase on Chrome. but I haven't used an Apple ID in years because 4 years ago somebody DID steal my identity - mostly through my Apple ID and I lost everything.
So I'm suspicious. I looked very carefully at the website and instead of "signin -page" it said "singin page".
me purchased iTunes gift cards to cover the cost of future protection. Some of the cards I purchased were not in the correct denomination, so I had to buy others to substitute for them. He stayed on the line while I went to Walgreen's and CVS to purchase them. I gave him the security numbers on the back of each card. Of course, these cards are non-refundable, but Shawn assured me that Apple would reimburse me for them. In all I spent $1300 on these cards and paid for them with my bank debit card. Shawn told me that a cashier's check in that amount would be delivered to my house the next day after 12:00 PM, and that I must be home to sign for it, so I gave him my address. After all this information was exchanged, Shawn told me that he would call back in 15 minutes to verify everything and assure me that I was safe. Of course, he never called back, and at that point I knew I was a victim of his scam. Now I feel so stupid and embarrassed. I'm really not sure what I should do now. Shawn was probably calling from across the world somewhere, but I did notice that Houston appeared on my phone at some point. Shawn spoke with a foreign accent, but had excellent English skills.
Because I did not answer the phone, I cannot actually say I was "victimized" and can't know (other than what I have read on line) whether or not the scammer was attempting to get money from me, so the questions below do not directly apply. However, because of the 844 prefix and the fact that I do not own Apple products, I have to assume this is a scam similar to the ones other people have suffered. Fortunately, I never pick up a call whose number I do not recognize; that's why I have an answering machine.
