Calls about iCloud breach

Is this a new scam or continuation of one from January? Robocall then connection to service center—NOT security center—with very realistic and plausible story, notice that breach resulted in all of personal data, photos, emails being exposed. Asked if I had a different computer I could access so caller could connect me with security since due to Covid Apple support was not available in person.

iPhone XR, iOS 13

Same ol’ SCAM, UnhappyinOz!


Apple never “cold calls” its customers!


I’m sorry you went so far as to actually talk to anyone: you are now on myriad “target” lists!


You will now need to be increasingly vigilant!


If there is ever a problem with an Apple account connected to your Apple ID, you will be informed as soon as you use that ID on an Apple system, such as even logging into this site!


(Suspicious activity actually locks the ID!)
