Scam texts are tricking Apple users and causing worry. Fraudsters pretend there are big Apple Pay charges, sometimes hundreds of dollars. They tell people to call a support number right away. The messages look like real alerts, which makes customers panic.
Scammers use the feeling of urgency to steal sensitive information from customers quickly.
Experts from Mac Observer and Mac Reports say these messages often have generic greetings and tiny mistakes to seem real. They tell victims not to click on weird links or call numbers they don’t know. It’s best to check alerts on Apple’s official website and your bank accounts.
