Was my personal information hacked Pop up on my iPad which was a repeating oral message . It said “ You have been hacked. Don’t turn off iPad”. In the corner of the picture that covered the I pad screen was a message to call Apple support. I called the number. I had never heard of a scam like this. First mistake was to call the number. He said that the hacker had hacked my personal information and used it to gamble. And ”we” needed to call my credit company and report it. Well we called and when I was asked for the my card number I had a feeling that something was wrong. I hung up. Was it a scam? Or has my personal information been hacked? [Edited by Moderator]

IPhone Security with phishing attempt I received a text message with a phishing attempt on my credit union account. I clicked the link, but realized it might be bogus and clicked out. I did not enter any information. I was told by the CU representative that I should take my phone to an Apple Store to be scanned. Is this true? Are IPhones subject to viruses? It is a second generation SE.

Clicked on a scam text and filled in my credit card details - do I need to run a virus check on my iPhone? Hi, I clicked on a spam text message from Linkt (an Australian toll company) which said I had an overdue payment that was about to turn into a fine. I clicked on the link and entered my card details and then the next page said it would send a verification code. After a few minutes I realised that it was a scam, blocked my card and the fraud team at my credit card company said there was a $2 charge from google and that I should run a virus check on my iPhone. I've searched online but some websites say yes while others say no need. Do I need to run a virus/malware check on my iPhone?
