Has anyone else had a recorded message from Apple wanting to do upgrades on your Apple devices? I called that number and it was a scammer wanting to take control of my computer.I hung up on it but now I have been receiving a lot of calls from people wanting to know who I am because my number shows up on their caller I.D. and I have not called any of them.
Good for the heads up! Unfortunately some fall for these things. I was house sitting at my dads once. They said they were the ATF of FBI or whatever. They said their was a warrant for my arrest. Why? They said they found an abandoned car in Texas registered under my name. They said their was pounds of coke in it. Basically said I was charged with everything except rape and murder! I asked for a government ID number and they gave it. The DMV doesn't even do that. They also gave me a case number! I got off the phone and called 911. There was no warrant whatsoever against me. Funny thing is they never asked me for money. When I lived in Phoenix, there was a guy with my same name that banked at the same bank. Transactions would be confused between him and I. I have a very rare last name. Wonder if that was him? If there was some misunderstanding, I would have went to the PD right there to clear things up! I had another time where I got a virus. It said it was from the Canadian Mounted Royal Police. I don't live in Canada, never have. Said I was downloading child porn, and for 100 bucks or whatever, they would let it go. I did a reverse IP address search, and the site was from China! I knew it was complete bullshit.
Yes, and I have an elderly friend who constantly gets phone calls about the slow speed of her internet. She has never had a computer in her life and probably thinks the internet has something to do with the lace curtains on her windows . This sort of thing is a fact of life now, and we have constantly be aware.
Oh sh!t they cloned your number too - that’s gonna be a huge pain in the ass.
