Last week, the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service issued an alert cautioning Americans to be on alert following a recent rash of phony phone calls coming from opportunistic fraudsters.
In the wake of that scam, an area resident told Daily Voice that he received two calls from a scammer claiming to be from AppleCare. According to the resident, the fraudster had a thick Indian accent and warned him “not to use Apple devices due to ‘hacking.’”
The local reported that he contacted Apple, who confirmed that the calls were indeed a part of the scam. The AppleCare number appears in the caller ID, but the scammers instruct the callers to call 888-629-7222.
