The scam uses emails claiming an Apple account bought a new phone and urges recipients to call a number, connecting them to a fake support agent.
Callers are told their account has been compromised and are then asked for sensitive and financial details, exposing them to identity theft and monetary loss.
Users are advised to distrust urgent callback requests, verify purchases through their device or Apple’s official website, and watch for spelling or grammar mistakes in messages.

Since AI now creates perfect fake emails, how can you reliably spot a sophisticated phishing scam?

If these scams are run by global crime rings, why can’t international law enforcement shut them down?
