The Consumer Protection Hotline at the DATCP has received multiple reports of Wisconsin residents receiving a high volume of telephone calls that falsely claim to be from Apple Care stating there is a problem with the recipients’ iCloud or Apple ID accounts.
One consumer reported receiving five calls in one hour, and after pressing #1 on the call and asking for the calls to stop, the consumer received an additional 12 calls in the following 90 minutes.
Consumers contacting Consumer Protection also report the calls come from different numbers and have different names listed on the caller ID. If you get a similar call, simply hang up, and do not provide any sensitive information.
