My iPhone 15 has been cloned

Greetings, Someone who I know hacked into my iPhone, and ultimately cloned it. This can be difficult to believe especially if you’re an iPhone enthusiast. Before I continue, my work is me within the metropolitan community churches and I am a relatively well-known individual within my global religious environment. With that said, the phone number and iCloud associated with my previous account are currently either under his control or I’m hoping that Apple has discontinued the iCloud account. The phone number was ultimately discontinued, although I am unsure if she can maintain use of that phone number

He gained access into my initial iPhone 13 through one of my Gmail accounts. Once inside my iphone he then gained access to my office emails. my local email address was a dream host domain account. my global email address was a Google domain account address

During the initial days in attempting to gain understanding of what was happening, I came to find out that my work email address was being created on a google platform.

I’m under the understanding and assumption that he may be using my old email to contact individuals.


Upon replacing my iPhone 13 with an iPhone 15 Pro, with a completely different phone number and eSIM,

Since I was unable to obtain access to my initial, iCloud, I attempted to obtain access to my individual apps, such as banking and credit card apps only to realize that in doing so, I gave the hacker an open door to my new iPhone. I also noticed that the hacker began to replace my public information with other information. 

I ultimately replaced that new phone with another iPhone 15pro, along with a new eSIM. I also changed out my Wi-Fi, taking myself off the account and putting my roommate on. 

For sometime now, I have had the habit of locking my banking, debit and credit cards, which has made it difficult for anyone to access my account funds.


And because he had managed to remove my information from many of my creditors, and online organizations, such as the DMV, my medical organization, utilities, etc. I found myself having to either call or present myself, physically, in order to get the accounts reinstated.

I also found out that I could not go through the usual online identification process of confirming a code sent via an email or a text since any information on file to validate or confirm an account went directly to an email or a phone number that the hacker had direct access to.

The hacker has not only compromised my previous emails and phone numbers, he also has access to them, and any email received to any previous email accounts and current accounts as well, including any text, he has the ability to access by responding and deleting them.

I have already changed my banking information. And I may have to do the same with my DMV and Social Security, since my attempt to access a new, my DMV account was once again manipulated by the hacker.

The greatest frustrations is attempting to make contact with an actual human person who can assist in the process of changing out my information, keeping in mind that because my phone is cloned, any transaction that I do on my phone he is capable to see and interact as well. Ironically, I’ve had 120 moments when I have attempted a pass change and he is manipulating the information and or canceling it or I am canceling his actions, if I am online at the moment that he is doing

Although I’m not able to see him type, anything, I can see him swipe, and I can see him press, action buttons. I am constantly checking the settings on my phone as he has the ability to change out any setting, that I may put an effect.


For those doubting Thomases, I have seen many apps which give one the ability to clone a phone. I’m not sure how good they are. However, I have yet to see an app that un-clones a phone. Although I am unsure if the hacker and the cloner are the same, I get the impression that they are one in the same only because of certain characteristic interactions that occur that confirm he is one in the same. And because the phone is cloned and all interactions referred back to my current iPhone 15 Pro. I did have the opportunity to note a location in Hacienda Heights California from what I believe is a web browser and yet we all know how efficiently the location can detect our devices

I hope all of this makes sense, I am dictating and texting corrections in the entry.

Peace and blessings, Alejandro E.

Well, I never thought anything even close to being as devistating as war could possibly happen to me but here I am, an iPhone13 down, a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10T, 5 laptops, 9 HDDs, now a 5 Day old iPhone 15Pro (a Grand I Borrowed) with a new esim, number, mac & IPs, got the 1st hit in the Parking lot of AT&T where I spent 4Hrs on their phone just to get the New 15 to take an esim!
They wouldn't accept it back

Why not? AT&T has a 14-day return policy. Unless it's physically damaged, of course.

They wouldn't accept it back so now that I am certain I cannot trust it I have an expensive door stopper. I've Never quit a single thing in my Life, a former US Marine but I'm so sick of the games I will have to soon before anyone else thinks I'm just another crazy vet who rotated home, lost my family then went nuts however, y'all have given me some much needed strength knowing I'm not fully alone or a fruit & nut cake! I'll fight it until,.... I cannot anymore.
Y'all have a blessed day I've been up all night playing hacker war resetting, new #, esim, passwords, etc. I'm done for now. Stay safe & well protected! CJ


I’d wonder if the carrier has a setup or provisioning issue with their network—that’s fairly common, and that can knock offline all devices associated with the cellular plan—or if this new iPhone has a hardware problem. As stated above, return it to the carrier store for resolution, or for different and working iPhone, or a refund.


I’d probably also look for a carrier store and not a reseller. The carrier stores tend to have deeper technical support.
