I purchased 3 iPhones from *** that I later found out could not be unlocked for my current provider. I called straight talk to unlock the phones they said no so I got online looked up apple official website. From their site clicked support. It gave me the number I provided for a scam. I called spoke to Micheal and Jay from apple or so they said. They told me they could not unlock the phones but apple was sorry for our inconvenience and would mail us 3 more iPhones and we could mail ours back to them. I thought that's nice of them. Well then they asked for my bank for security deposit I did not provide to them. They then asked for itunes cards to provide a deposit and eBay cards to secure insurance on the phone in total $600.00. I did it and they said phones would be mailed on 11-22-19 between 5-7 pm. Attempted to call back and Michael got rude bc I got back on the site and found another number for apple. I feel *** *** *** *** *** are responsible for this. *** for selling merchandise and *** *** for not advertising you had to have their service for 1 year to unlock the phones and *** for not securing their website. No one willing to take blame or refund money taken by scammer that was supposed to be used for Christmas for my children. * *** *** *** *** *** ** *** ***

The message on my phone said "Your Apple ID alert---our server has detected some suspicious hacking on your Apple account. Please do not use your Apple devices until you speak with an Apple support representative." It then provided the 2 844-area code numbers to call back on (I received 2 calls from the 2 800 numbers). I called one of the 844 numbers, which had prompts, and one wanted me to go into my "Settings" and provide information to them. At that point, I hung up because something didn't feel right.

I talked to a gentleman by the name of Jordan Holder . He claimed someone was trying to open an account under my name and had access to my bank account. I kept asking questions because this sounded like a scam. He kept telling me the issue was real. Every question I asked got verified. The longer we talked I was convinced to buy Target gift cards at multiple stores. I am working with my bank to recover my money.

I received an email from Apple, but the format is off. It doesn’t look like other emails I’ve received from Apple. There were also some grammatical errors-like broken English. It said my payment information needed to be updated or my account would be locked.

Type of a scam Tech Support

This comes up as a message blocker saying that it's a warning that your computer has been infected from a list of the following reasons, pirated software, something downloaded etc. They tell you not to exit the message but to call 1-884-517-0777 which is presented as an apple tech support number ( maybe if you don't have a Mac it would come up as something else). They tell you that your computer is locked until you call the number. This is not true you can close the message easily which you should do. The message is in strong colours like green, red and blue and is not in Apple's style. They want you to accept them into your computer. I did not do this - I asked for another number to verify who they are which the guy gave me and it was clearly not a tech support company. Once I hung up on them - a couple of minutes later I got a call back from them and I just hung up. Do not call the number.

Someone who have a fake Facebook account named Mark Lucas hacked my Yahoo email. This person/persons have been trying to get personal identifiable information from me by sending SCAMMER emails from the company "Apple" asking for my social security number and other personal information. They have been hacking my Yahoo email address for a while (deleting emails from my account, sending me FAKE emails from Apple and other companies, I reported this to everyone that I could and they deleted emails when I reported this to the FBI). I was scammed out of money before when I believed Mark Lucas when he emailed me saying I had won something, and that I needed to pay shipping/handling charges. BE CAREFUL!!!

Received 3 phone calls from people claiming to be from Apple, claiming I am entitled to be refunded money ($49.95) for a Windows product that was supposedly purchased, even though I only own Apple products and they were claiming to be from Apple. They claimed that they needed my personal information such as my name, which I did not provide them with, as they would have had that if this was a legitimate refund. They gave me a 315 area code number to call them back on. It seems fraudulent.

Automated call from Apple, saying my security had been compromised. Do not access back information until I speak with Apple security. Press 1. Pressed 1 and the person was foreign, and ask what type of device do you use. I said if you're Apple, you would know what device we use. I said I will hang up and call Apple support. He then said foul words and hung up.

Received a call from a woman who stated she got a popup from "Apple" on her Ipad that said she needed to contact them immediately because she had been doing illegal activity. She called the number on the popup and they told her she needed to buy Google Play gift cards and send the codes to "Apple". They threatened her stating that if she didn't do this that they would throw her in jail and tell the world she's engaging in illegal activity. When I asked her how many gift cards she purchased she only stated she's out $33, 000.
