Phone calls from San Jose, Ca
My mother is getting calls stating suspicious activity on her iCloud account. Would this ever happen or is this a scam.
Question marked as
Very much 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.
