I considered it spam and never talked to anyone after listening to their message. I have no Apple devices and only have ITunes on my computer which I never use. Anyone else get similar calls? All the calls were from a different number with same prefix.

Scammers are spoofing real businesses and names of people show up on your caller ID instead of just a spoofed number. Everyone needs to be extra cautious and take the time to explain it to older relatives and friends that might be at risk for fraud.

Key is the email it’s sent to is not my apple email, it’s nowhere associated with my apple account. 😂 Never Outsmart Common Sense.
