Apple iCloud breach scam—what to do now!
Summary — +18000480408
Expert Opinion
Hang up immediately; the call is a textbook Apple impersonation scam. Callers spoof the Apple brand, claim a breached iCloud or social‑security issue, and pressure you to press digits or provide personal data. Never share passwords, Social Security numbers, or payment info over the phone, especially when you didn't initiate the contact. Use your phone’s built‑in block feature or a third‑party app to stop future calls from +18000480408. Report the incident to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and, if you suspect identity theft, file a report with the relevant agencies. Keep a log of call times and any voicemail as evidence for further action.
