Re: APPLE ID scam messages………

I received many calls like that about a year ago but it was about my Amazon account.  The first time I called the regular Amazon cs number and they told me it was a very common scam.

Re: APPLE ID scam messages………

I've had calls from ID saying Bank of America or Chase.  They say your card has been compromised in another State and want me to verify the card #.  Just hang up.  The bank does not call you asking for that info.

I've gotten to the point where I won't even talk to anybody with that foreign accent anymore.  I hang up on all of them if I happen to answer the call.  I usually don't answer numbers I don't recognize, but Xfinity has been dropping the caller ID lately.

We don’t answer any incoming calls, unless we know the caller.

They can record your YES and NO replies and use them against you. Let everything go to voice mail. And use the default setting, not your own recording.

That's exactly the strategy I've been forced to take @RescueLover . I do not answer any "unassigned" numbers. Regardless, it's an anxious-felt nuisance.

I git one this morning saying my Apple Pay was disabled and I needed to update my info for it to be reinstated.
