Spam Group FaceTime Calls with over 32 members

You can block FaceTime users but there are generally about 20 people on the call and it hard to tell which number started it. Also, they keep changing the numbers. For me it started again this evening - they called about 10 times in a row. I ended up turning FaceTime off. So frustrating.

THis just happened to me!! I had to block every number. I googled the numbers a lot were from the New York area. What do you think it was??

It’s like the new SPAM. I turned FaceTime off. Haven’t turned it back on -but I NEVER used it anyways

Apparently it’s a Tik Tok prank. My 14 year old daughter was able to verify this is something going around because of Tik Tok. SMH.

It happened to me last night and today afternoon as well. I blocked the numbers for now, just too uncomfortable thinking that my number may have been hacked.

You should be able block FaceTime users

problem solved

This happened to me last night around 3am! They called at least 10 times, until I turned off my FaceTime. many different numbers that I didn’t recognize. The weirdest part was when I texted “who are you” or “wtf” they responded with “can you join for a minute?”

I would love to know what’s up with this.

I am getting this date and night. Calls text and face time from random numbers and not giving me an option to block numbers. Just to report it to junk on the iCloud. Sick to death of it. I answer one face time on it and was a young teenage girl. Other time random art on walls are creepy old men. Makes me feel sick. I do not want to be part in any of these scams or if they are trying out random numbers. But how can you stop it. Should I report to the police? How can I stop this? Please someone help me

To supplement this, recently in December I have changed my phone number, unknowingly with AT&T , to a number that some previous girl had owned and had put out to a lot of sources. Now in October I am experiencing these problems, but only after I began using WhatsApp for calls to someone. Extremely annoying repeated calls from FaceTime groups 20+ people ,I have no idea who they are. Did not answer , don’t plan to.

I got a trail for beenverified and not only is my personal info out there, but my family’s personal info/numbers as well. Everything short of card number and social, address and age, name etc. Even the make and model of my car and how much I paid for it is up for grabs. Did a reverse lookup on the numbers as well and without going into crazy detail it definitely points to spam. Just a thought, but how hard would it be to track and target a spammer when your getting a call from 35 different phone numbers at once?

Also, what @Arobless mentioned about a little girl on the other line has me scratching my head...I’d be willing to wager that it’s some kind of trend, it doesn’t exactly take a rocket scientist to get personal info especially if all your friends know how to do it, but it’s obvious after doing a little digging that the spammers that called me were just that...reused or old numbers, a phone carrier known and affiliated with spam calls etc. It seems unlikely that the two are related. If it’s a growing trend perhaps the spammers are taking advantage?

This happened to me last night!

Although these forum posts are from 2020, I'm wondering if anyone had this incident in 2021? For now I turned off my Facetime, but I'm hoping there's another way around this.

I’m sick of this. It started last week Sunday at 11pm. Random Group FaceTime calls and hasn’t stopped. I may delete ALL of my iCloud and switch to Android as there seems ro be no way to remove myself from the groups. There’s one email address amongst the callers. I’ve blocked it and every number. I’ve also reported ALL of the numbers to my Verizon call filter but I still can’t drop them. It’s absurd ro me rest people can scam call all hours of the night and there’s nothing g I can do about it. None of these people are in my contacts and I’m scared that one of mt kids answers it when they’re playing on my iPad etc. Major major security glitch and makes me super uncomfortable that weirdos are continuously video calling. Even more uncomfortable that Apple can’t get to grips with it. I’m going phone shopping for androids this week cause one week of this is enough for me. It’s a toral violation of my privacy

Hi! Yes I know I am from 2021 😂, but I have been experiencing this problem for the past two days. The call woke me up from my nap and so I finally answered bc I thought it was one of my friends with a prank call. I immediately left when I realized I knew no one in the group, but it appeared to be a young girl with a bun and glasses, another guy speaking weird with his camera off, and a bunch of anonymous contacts not active. I was really scared so I checked the contacts and over 30 people were on the chain. I blocked every single one, and yes along the way I began to realize repeating numbers that would already say I blocked them. I am one to get nervous around things like these because of hackers, creepers, etc. so I am really glad I didn’t show my face. Though I do find it odd as well that the number would ring 2 times, as well they would call me at 2 am too. I went right to google and wrote “why are unknown Group FaceTime’s calling me constantly” and luckily I found this Apple page with your exact response that was matching my problems. — If Apple sees this, I think you should take a look because I find what’s happening very strange.
