I have received several calls today from this number that my apple account has been breached. When I called back it went to an apple store in Kansas City, MO. When I called the real apple support, they said that they were aware of the scam.

I have received several automated call stating that the call was from Apple in regards to someone in the household having trouble with their icloud service ans they were calling to do a security update. I do not have any Apple products so I pressed 1 on the recording to speak with a live person and I was clearly transferred to India.

Received multiple automated calls today claiming to be Apple and we have had a breach. Several messages on our answering machine and then when I was home. The calls are every 30 minutes. When I answered one of the calls, it was an automated message. As I waited on the line, a man claiming to be an Apple representative asked why I was calling. I said, you contacted me. He said yes you have a iCloud breach. When I asked for an 800 number to call back to verify that this is truly Apple, he disconnected the call. We have continued to receive multiple calls from this number. When I called this number, it is an Apple store.

I became suspicious when they asked for my social security number, and then I tried using my Apple ID to purchase something and it wasn’t actually compromised.

I was on the internet and the phone was locked and an ad popped up to call this number because illegal activity was processed on my phone and when you call the number it claims to be apple. It not. They have you pay them with 100 dollar iTunes cards so that they can unlock your phone. They will continue to do this until you run out of money.

Found this number on google looking for a number to apple warranty. I needed a replacement phone as mine was defected. They asked for a $200 security deposit that would be refunded when the replacement phone arrived. I tried to give them my credit card number they said they could only receive payment through iTunes cards. I gave the $200 the phone never came upon calling again they ignored my calls at first then when they finally answered let me know they needed to be $100 dollar cards as i had given 4 $50 cards. They asked for another hundred. For the mistake on the $50 dollar gift cards. Please do not give your money. I am out 200 dollars.

I was contacted by an "Applecare consultant and Survey coordinator" through a social media app on my phone. Then I received a Fedex package through the mail today. They want me to buy 2 Apple gift cards, one for $2000 and another for $350. They sent me a "cashier's check" for $2750. They said I could keep $400 for myself but I should text them as soon as I deposited it.

I will get an call and the caller ID said Apple. When I answer its a robo call stating a warning not to use my apple device because my icloud account has been breached. I am then given options to connect to support. Once I did connect and told the person that I am an Apple employee, and to remove my number. He called me a liar and hung up. They continue to call back about every hour and I do not know how to get it to stop! One option they give is to call back using a toll free number, but it is not toll free, it is 805 area code.

I got an email from what appeared to look like Apple advising me my Apple ID had been used to order an Apple Music family membership. However, the email was not from Apple and the link they tell you to click if I didn't order this didn't go to Apple either. BBB advised me it was a scam.
