I know the hacker that has targeted all of us. I can tell you, but STEVEnson ranch is kinda too far for me. According to the MORRIS county sheriff’s dept crime has gone quite a bit. If you worry about safety, there’s some nice cities in Northern CALIFORNIA , but the one for me is SANTA CRUZ. Although Southern California is nice also. I would bet for COSTA MESA, CULVER CITY and even parts of ANAHEIM. These ARE the CITIES were I’d be happy plus there’s plenty of PHISHING you can CATCH the BIG fish if you really PAY ATTENTION and out a bit of effort in to it. SEARCH for yourself and you will find relief. I know I’M not gonna stop my SEARCH for a better place call me a GURU if you like my NUMBER, but don’t forget to ask for NUMBER before calling me. GURU. It’s all the different AGES that throw me off the hook, but PAYING attention to details is KEY. Good luck. I’m going to go for the BIG FISH myself every day until I catch HIM. He’s ruined waay too many of my fishing LINES to let the him get away with it. I’m ready to bring him home where he belongs. Good Luck you all. I invite you to fish with me and see who can CATCH HIM first. EXHAUSTED Anonymous.

I have a police report w the FBI as well. Apple care is randomly hacked. You can tell, if you hear, two clicks and automated system, asks for information. Then you'll wait on line for maybe 10 minutes, never does that happen in the land of Apple, I worked there, and in a way still do. I know who it is, gave info to FBI, it's a ring. If you didn't notice, last Week CNBC reported that Apple caught some employees that they were already on to, as I called them, and got them trying to board planes to ****a. I say this to all people that have problems, go to a store, Speak w manager, if your Apple ID keeps c****ing, or other things are happening, get senior genius, and do not let them take your computer to fix. If you are smart, and I say you get smart. you will s**** finding issues on your IPhone and computer..Launch Activity Moniter, and go into console. You'll find what what's happening. If you don't know about these tools learn them, on the web site...and take it slow. But you are all right! I guarantee it. And if you get a call back, first, ask their name and case number immediately, put them on hold and call back, and ask for case number and see if it exists and belongs to that person...I've been going through this for 7 months, and since I am connected to Apple Corporate, they didn't believe me at first, until I showed them what was happening. Go to a store, or if you know someone senior at Apple you are friends with for a long time trust them.

This company has several motives and they are a bunch of Crooks! I’ve gotten several calls from them for several scams! My iCloud account was compromised, they called me for days on both my home and cell phone, and the same thing on. Both phones that I owed the IRS money and they could help! I don’t owe the IRS anything, and if I did I think they would be at my door rather than calling me! I hope that IOS13 is going to stop all of this **** as they have promised! It’s gotten to where the land line is more of an aggravating issue than it’s worth. It’s not long before we are getting rid of it entirely!

The man was of Indian descent and stated that his name was Jack Hardy and that my icloud account has been compromised.

He claimed that he was with Apple.

100% hands down this is a scam! Dialectic sounded ****stani or Indian . Interestingly when the number isa s****ed, calling back it never goes through. This time I was told it was Apple Support and my ID was compromised. Also of great interest they called on my Android phone! Asked to verify some information and of course I refused and they said; "Then stop calling Apple" and ***g up. Serious - we are not that ******.
(800) 275-2273 - December 31st, 2018 2:27pm
There are many transactions on my account I did not approve of about $500 two days before Christmas. This is the number that was on my statement. I spoke to Apple and they informed me they only have one 1800 number and that number is not linked with apple. THIS IS A COMPLETE.......SCAM! Do not give them any information and be sure to check your account for this number.
