Phone: 888-793-4165
Country: United States
Type of a scam: Online Purchase

This phone number showed up in google search as Apple support. The technician stated that our account had been hacked and hay there were 25 people fraudulently using our account to make purchases. He then tries to convince me to buy an iTunes card to block the hackers. The whole thing seemed fishy to begin with. When he asked me to buy a refundable iTunes card for the security number on the back, I hung up.

Type of a scam: Tech Support

I googled Apple Support contact number because I needed to get help with my sons phone. The man said his name was Jonathan and told me I had to purchase iTunes card worth $50 and it would be refunded to me after I spoke to his billing manager. After I gave him the codes on the cards totaling $50 he then transferred me to another man who tried to tell me I had to purchase another card for $100. I knew then I definitely had been scammed. I hung up when the man got loud and rude with me. He tried to call me and my son back. My son spoke to him and had a heated conversation ending with the man cursing him. I was able to get my money back by calling Apple gift card support.

I googled Apple Customer Service and the phone number 1-877-534-6970 appeared. When I called and explained that my Apple account may have been compromised they instructed me to purchase a google play card in the amount of 500.00 dollars and they would be able to take care of the problem because hackers in NJ, Russia and another country were accessing my accounts. They created a sense of urgency and assured me my money would be refunded.

I have gotten over 8 phone calls in the past week claiming to be from “Apple Support” and that my Apple account has been compromised. It starts as a “robo call” and then a live person will come on and argue that they really are from Apple. The calls come from Pennsylvania, Florida, and New York.

Type of a scam: Tech Support

I called this number because my iPad wasn’t charging. I was told Because my iPad was not quite two years old I would receive a new iPad but I had to go to the nearest Safeway store and spent $200 to buy Apple support(?). The person on the phone wanted me to go right then and there and he would stay with me while I went to the store. It sounded fishy to me so I said no thank you.

I received several phone calls from what appeared as Apple Support in the caller id of my home phone. A gentleman(not American speaking) claimed that my IMac computer had been hacked due to online shopping. I had not used the IMac since December; the person on the line accessed my EBay account which I have not used in over a year. Wanted me to update the address, but I said no use to do that since I was going to close the account. Then proceded to pull up Amazon and wanted me to log in. I closed that account months ago as I was receiving very odd packages that I had not ordered. My home phone cut him off after about 30 minutes, but he called back; I was not agreeing to any of the stuff going on in this call.

I received several calls from various out of state numbers that I did not recognize therefore I did not answer them. A couple of messages were left for me to return their call and the message stated that they were calling from apple support and that my iCloud account had been breached. After calling them they asked me to get on my laptop so they could remote onto my computer and try to help block the individuals from"Turkey,China and Russia" out of my iCloud. While speaking to the scammers. They asked me to run a scan on my computer while they were remote in. While scanning in they had access to my IP address and were very inquisitive of on line banking, pay pal, and on line banking. The battery to my laptop died and I quickly realized this was a scam and hung up on them.

"Molly" from "Apple Support" called me 7 times yesterday to tell me our iCloud had been breached. I finally got annoyed enough to stay on the line until a human answered and then I told him that I have a special set of skills and I will find you if you call here again:) So far "Molly" hasn't called back.

I received an email from supposedly Apple support requesting the following:

It has come to our attention that your Billing Information records are out of date and requires you to update your Billing Information.

Failure to update your records will result in account termination.

Continue to your account. There was a link proved in the email here.

I contacted Apple directly and they indicated this was a scam phishing for credit card info as they would never provide a link in an email.
