Rec'd 2 calls today telling me not to use my Apple devices for financial data until I speak to Apple rep at 855-628-7833. Calling No. 727-279-5897. Is this a scam?

As Skydiver119 says - SCAM(s)

Google both numbers (just copy & paste) and top results all say SCAM with some details

Since they are offshore, they don't even bother changing their phone numbers - so you should be able to successfully block the calls in the future

It's a scam. You callt number and they will probably want your credit card number to 'fix' something, which means they will steal money from you.


Apple will NEVER call you and ask for info.


If you want, turn it into the police, although honestly I doubt they'll do much. Just stop answering calls from that number and let your voice mail handle it.
