Be careful - Scam using big company
With Text Message
You receive a text message indicating that someone is attempting to log into your Apple account without your authorization.
Then, you receive a call from someone claiming to be an Apple support agent. They inform you that your account has been compromised and that they have opened a support ticket for you to assist you in securing your account. Additionally, you receive an actual email from Apple support containing your case number.
The Apple support email you received appears legitimate, but the support ticket was actually initiated by cybercriminals, not Apple. They will pretend to assist you in resolving the issue with your account and request your security code to close the support ticket. However, if you provide them with the code, they can steal your Apple account!
To avoid falling victim to a phishing scam, follow these tips: If you receive unexpected text messages from Apple, refrain from replying or clicking on any links in the message. Instead, visit the Apple website to verify the legitimacy of the message or contact their official customer support line.
Cybercriminals frequently attempt to manipulate you into acting hastily by instilling a sense of urgency. If you receive a text message instructing you to act swiftly, exercise extreme caution.
Remember, genuine support agents won’t ask for your passcode or password. Scammers request this information to gain access to your accounts.
