Can my iPhone be compromised if someone has my IMEI number?

My phone has been compromised because I was tricked into giving my IMEI number to someone and they have hacked it or cloned it. What can I do?

Your iPhone data / password etc. cannot be compromised with the use of the IMEI number. You claim that your iPhone has been compromised. Can you provide some specific examples of what you are experiencing that makes you believe that your iPhone has been compromised?

Meanwhile, you can follow the instructions in this guide published by Apple 👉 If you think your Apple ID has been compromised

Whoops!

What's the source? Have any info on this? If this was call or a text message, then you can report this to Apple and to the Federal Government, if an option. Provide the screenshot and the URL of this thread. Use my User: Using the Photos App to Report Scams - User Tip
