A new scam targeting iPhone users is spreading across the US, using fake Apple Pay alerts to trick victims into transferring money to fraudsters. The warning was highlighted in a report by the New York Post, which cited a consumer alert issued by ConsumerAffairs.
According to ConsumerAffairs, scammers are sending text messages claiming there has been suspicious activity on an Apple Pay account. The message typically urges the recipient to call a phone number for immediate assistance. Anyone who calls the number may be connected to someone pretending to be Apple support, a bank employee or even a law enforcement officer.
