"Apple ID" scam

This isn't a question, but a general "Heads-Up" to other Apple Users.


I received a phone call, not once, but TWICE today, started out with the standard Robocall recording, stating that it was "Apple" calling, to inform me that my iCloud account had been compromised, and to press whatever key to speak to a representative. The first time, I just hung up. When they called back, about an hour later (from a different number, but both appearing to be from the 408 Area code) I pressed the key to speak to someone, to "see what it was all about". No surprise, the guy comes on asking, "how can I help you?" I said, "You called ME." at which point he goes on to say that they were seeing that I was signed on to my iCloud account, both from my state, and also from Nebraska. I asked, "Which account are we talking about, this is a business, we have several." at which point, he promptly hung up. Not hard to figure out "my state", based on Area Code. But there is some sort of Phishing going on regarding Apple IDs/iCloud, so everyone needs to be aware, and alert.
