Phone calls

I have been bombarded today with phone calls in my own zip code telling me there is something wrong with my Apple product. I am assuming this is a scam but thought I would check.

It is indeed a scam attempt.


Apple does not make such calls.

All such calls are scams from criminals attempting to steal your personal and financial information. The callers will often use number spoofing to pretend they are calling from a legitimate business. The correct course of action is to ignore the calls or hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
