This is a new one on me and although it does not come via the internet or my Apple devices it bears mentioning.
For the last three days we have been receiving two and three really good SPAM calls a day on our landline phone with excellent production values. The robo dialogue goes something like this…
I never got to 2 before hanging up so I don't know what the other options were. The caller ID indicated the call was from Apple Computer and the phone number was either from Lost Wages Las Vegas, Nevada, Haha, Nebraska, Austin, Texas, and I didn't get the others. Looking up the number using NoMoRobo on my iPhone indicated some of the numbers have already been identified as SPAM and some were new. I strongly suspect the phone numbers and caller ID are spoofed so where the calls came from is anybody's guess.
The spooky thing is two of the calls came in just as I was completing an iCloud sessionâ€¼ï¸ That was enough to give me pause to wonder if they were aware I had just logged off of iCloud and if so how did they knowâ“
