"PHONE CALL FROM APPLE SUPPORT Hi. Ive gotten 6 calls so far this afternoon from Milpitas California 408-965-**** every 10 minutes. They leave a message and say they are apple support and that there was suspicious activity on the i cloud which i never use. I assume this is scam. How do I get them to stop calling me"

This has been happening to me ALL weekend long. I have gotten at a minimum 25 calls and sometimes 10 or so would happen within minutes. I never answered. They calls were silenced. I blocked each and every call and another would come through from the same city, but a different number. My question is, what IS the scam?? What are they trying to accomplish. I have to say my phone was also acting weird after a string of these calls. My screen went wacky while I was texting. Everything was freezing up except the scrolling. The middle of the screen wouldn't go away as I scrolled. Strange.

They are crooks. They want you to reveal information such as your Apple ID, passwords, etc so they can get to your payment information and steal from you. Since I am not a scammer, I don't know what the exact scam is, but it is always about stealing something.

Those are scam calls. You could go to settings, phone, and turn on silence unknown calls. You won’t hear them and it goes to voicemail.

These are scams calls made by criminals.

Apple do not make calls unless requested by you.

Thank you. That’s what I figured.
