Yesterday, a friend got a call from the Seattle Apple Store, phishing.

Yesterday, a friend in Maryland got a call from the Seattle Apple Store (206) 892-****.  This phone number is for a legitimate Apple Store in Seattle, Washington.  My friend did not answer the spoofed call, and the voicemail directed him to call (206) 892-****.  He is convinced that this store at Apple University Village, Seattle, WA 98105, is occupied and there are people in cahoots with phishing people on India who have broken into the databases and compromised everyone's number.  I suspect that the number calling is spoofed, and the message left was bogus.  The only way to be compromised in answering the call real-time, and actively giving the phishing culprits your personal info.

Would you please tell me that it's simply a scam? And there is no world-wide conspiracy to take over the Seattle Apple Store?  I think it's a kid in India with a spoofing app he got for his phone and nothing else.

Right now he is telling everyone about this occupied store stealing info from the Apple-user databases.
