I just received a call from Apple Care, telling me not to use my account until I spoke with a representative.  I am certain that this is one of the new scams out there.  If you have an Apple device, be aware.

It seems to go in streaks, one day I must have had 15 to 20 calls from " Apple " on my call log. Some days these scammers are relentless.

Thanx for the info.  We do have Apple Care so we'll be on the alert for phone calls.

I think no company, no government entity calls us individually when there's an issue.  Am I right?

Well... My credit card was compromised recently, and Citi Bank did indeed call me immediately about the fradulent charge.  They also emailed and texted me.  Great service.  The purchase was cancelled and I had a new card in my hand in 48 hours.
