Recording called my business phone advising that my Icloud account had been hacked. Provided this toll free number to call (not even a toll free number, but okay), or press 1 to speak to an operator. Operator answers, proceeds to ask how he can help me? I told him, you just called me about my ICloud account. He then tells me that there have been multiple attempts to sign into my account from Russia, China, and somewhere else, but he mumbled it to quickly that I didn't catch it. When I attempted to ask how he knew it wasn't me, he responded F**k off and hung up. Ummmmm…...Okay, I don't even have Apple services for personal or business purposes.
Scam related to your iCloud account. These fuckos must die.
Have received five calls TODAY from "Molly" informing me my Apple Cloud account has been breached. They kindly offer to have me call a "toll free number" (nb: 518 area for Albany NY does not sound like a "toll free exchange". Or I could press one -- which I finally did and was collected with a card-carrying A-hole -- who did not sound like anything like what I would expect from Apple support -- who wanted to know who I was and why I was calling. When I told him he was the one who called me, he got a real attitude. BIG TIME! Come one. If you want to go to all the trouble to scam me, maybe you could employ polite people who are capable of speaking the Queens English. Is that too much to ask...?
3 msgs in less than one hour. Definitely a scam.
Has called my home phone 5 times in 2 hours. Very annoying.
scam similar to the Microsoft support scam, do not call this number
Robo Call stating my ICloud account has been compromised call this "toll free" before using any Apple Device.
This is "Mandy" from Apple. We've noticed some potential fraudulent activity on your I-Cloud Account. Please contact us directly by pressing 1 or press 2 to hear this message again. Or by reaching us at our toll free number 5187-312-4937
This number has called repeatedly, claiming that our iCloud account has been breached. Very annoying.
Rec'd call claiming to be Apple Support and my I Cloud was breached. Out of curiosity I punched 1 and low and behold the voice that came up was familiar to the voice I talked to in regards to Microsoft support. He must have recognized my voice because the minute I said I Cloud problem, he disconnected. Believe one of his names was John.
