Though quickly disproven by Apple, the reports made the unsolicited calls claiming to be from Apple much more credible. The scam can unfold in a variety of ways, but the end goal is the same. They try to get you to let them connect to your computer via a reverse screen share. Then, they claim to have scanned your computer, found malware, and ask for payment so they can &#8220;fix&#8221; your computer. In the process, they install adware and sometimes malware, as well as charge a high or recurring fee on your credit card or both.<br><br>This call also offers people to dial #2 to stop these calls; however, this is part of the scam! Once you&#8217;ve pressed #2, you&#8217;ve confirmed that you&#8217;re available for more scamming in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6ad4e947 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(180deg,rgb(239,243,255) 0%,rgba(255,255,255,0) 100%);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<section class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1f218a34e1e889d771dd7e0ba23dc85e\">How YouMail can help stop Apple iCloud scams today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">YouMail is the leading solution for getting rid of robocalls and we are proud that our customers are protected from scammers, spammers, and other unwanted callers.
