Almost scammed

I was almost scammed & wanted to share light so it doesn’t happen. I foolishly believed everything these people were me but then when I went to do the Apple Cash- this message came up & then the lightbulb went off in my head.

iPhone 12, iOS 17

I've been scammed and want to make a report. I called apple care about my Powerbeats Pro wireless headphones not working. I was still under warranty. I was told I would receive a new pair and a refund for $80. In order to get the refund I would need to purchase an apple gift card $500. I was scammed. [Edited by Moderator]

Scam for Apple support I googled the number to call Apple to get a refund request for in-app purchases. I called the first number that came up. The guy had me download any desk and got remote access to my phone to view the charges. He then said he needed the transaction numbers for them and to go to my bank app. Which I did. I started to tell him he shouldn’t need those numbers. He then had me go to a transfer page on my bank app. He said your going to do a transfer. I said what? You refund the money I don’t transfer anything from anywhere. He didn’t ask me what the charges were if they were fraud or what. He could see the charges on my account and didn’t add them up or anything. Which total 800$. I didn’t transfer any money and immediately hung up, deleted my information and called Apple. Anyone else had this happen?
