If you get a suspicious phone call or voicemail


Scammers spoof phone numbers and use flattery and threats to pressure you into giving them information, money, and even iTunes gift cards. Always verify the caller's identity before you provide any personal information. If you get an unsolicited call from someone claiming to be from Apple, hang up and contact us directly.


Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams
