i just got a phone call saying the cloud has been breached. im asduming its a scam does anyone know anything about this?

I have gotten two calls this week. "says not to use any apple devices" 973-841-2991

They called me today 10 times I don’t know if it’s fake or not. I heard the voicemails and they say the same thing and I answered and they said press 1 to talk Apple Support for stuff.

Saw this post while trying to contact Apple regarding this same thing.

I just got the same phone call and I hung up. Usually when you get a scam call like that and you try to call back the call won't go through. This time the call went through and I got a recording saying " thank you for calling premium support" but I hung up before anyone came on the line. The number was 424-384-4005. What I don't understand is why can't these people be prosecuted?

Same thing happened to me today; thanks for posting. It's great to be able to check these things out before acting on them. SCAM!

I have a voice mail recording of the exact message they left. Funny thing was, the caller ID was 'Seth R'; what if it's Seth Rogen calling me? Yeah right; like I know him. I picked it up just for kicks.

With an official sounding automated voice (no accent), they say my applie icloud account has suspicious activity, and they are in support and want to talk to me; stay on the line, or call this number. In my case, the number was 855-648-**** (I think posting phone numbers is a no-no).

I've gotten a second call back that's exactly the same. I wonder what Seth R would think? Thou shalt not use the name Seth R in vain.

I got the same phone call twice today and decided to verify it was a scam. In the last few days I have received this scam on my land line and a UPS delivery scam in my email and my husband received the IRS phone call. Must be the season for scam scum.

FBI directed me to FTC (Federal Trade Commission) @ 877-382-4357 (press #1, then #3) to report this since it initiates from a phone call & the internet hacking/phishing is only after people give out their information such as Serial Number, or Account Information, Personal Information letting them have access to their computer to "fix the problem". Some will also suggest you buy their Security Software when in actuality it is Malware! Change your passwords or do not use the same passwords for multiple accounts such as Linkedin (one that was mentioned as being hacked in the past).

I also received this recorded call (twice) this morning from 707-508-3500 and was instructed to call a different number back. I hung up immediately. I googled the 707 number and it comes up as an authorized Apple Store in California so it really does seem ligit. Glad I came on here to check it out first. These scammers just don't know when to stop. APPLE you need to take care of this.

One message on answering machine, then a live call which I answered. Announced the data breach and said to press 1, which I did. Same busy call center with a guy with an Indian accent asking me to sign onto my computer. The most curious thing he said was that he could only "fix" the problem if I was on my computer. Red flag went up. Hung up.

Its a scam

My wife and I both just got the same type of call. Call from 800-361-2087. Now blocked. Reported them to FTC.GOV but don't expect much.

The number was 1-844-369-3796

I received a similar call. An Apple reply on another thread indicated it was a scam.

ditto for me....but the tel number that called me was 714-424-6331
