How the Scam Works

1. The Bait: You receive alarming SMS texts or emails claiming your Apple ID has been compromised or an unauthorized device/purchase was made.
2. The "Legitimate" Case: Scammers trigger real password resets or support tickets, causing your device or email to receive genuine verification codes or case numbers from Apple.
3. The Trap: The scammer calls you, pretending to be Apple Support. Because you received a "real" email, you trust them. They ask you to read back a 2FA code or visit a fake website to "cancel the support case" and steal your account.

Key Red Flags

• Urgency & Panic: Scammers use urgent language ("prompt action required") to make you act without thinking.
• Asking for Codes: Apple will NEVER ask you to read a verification code over the phone or enter it on an external website.
• External Links: Text messages containing links directing you to log in are almost always phishing attempts.

If You Are Targeted

• Do Not Engage: Never click links in unexpected messages or call phone numbers provided in texts.
• Verify Directly: Open a browser and go directly to Apple Support to check if there are actual, legitimate issues with your account.
• Never Share Credentials: Do not share your 2FA security codes or device passcode with anyone.
• Report the Phishing: Take a screenshot of the fake text message and forward it to Apple's official anti-fraud email at reportphishing@apple.com.
