Two ways to spot a scam. [View all]
Today I got what looked like a legitimate text from Apple alerting me to suspicious activity. It invited me to call a phone number or log onto a web site if I didn't recognize the activity. (I have screen shots, but I can't figure out how to include them in this post. Can anyone help me about this?)
Anyway, after 20 or more minutes of struggle I got into Chat with Apple support via Icloud.com. The message was not from Apple. But in the course of this I noticed two things that will save me this trouble next time.
1 - The country code of the text was 63, the Phillipines.
2 - The first line of the text said "Unverified Apple Pay Usage." A clue.
They're getting very clever!
