    Not specifically, but junk like this runs rampant anymore. I've had both 'Microsoft' and 'Apple' call me about viruses on my computers, the same with the incessent 'lower your interest rate' calls I get at least 3-4 times a week.

     

    A good thing to bear in mind, Apple will NEVER initiate contact with you about an issue. You have to do something first to initiate the contact. Such as try to buy an app with an outdated credit card, or try to reset your password, etc.
