Apple Support Scam

Has anyone received a call from someone posing as an Apple Support person, stating that My IP Address had been compromised? And tried to get you to buy a $500 Security Card at Best Buy. I even received a Bogus Case ID #. What an elaborate ruse.

You could contact Apple about it : Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


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.
