Anyone getting hit with a phone scam purportedly from Apple ID?

[procon]

I'm getting swamped with robocalls about every 20 minutes directing me to press 1 to protect my account. I figure it must be a scam because I don't use any Apple products, so I'm just letting it go to voicemail. This is the caller's number that shows up on my phone [phone]. I'm not going to call it, but is anyone else getting these calls?

1. i have not seen that one

but maybe you should block it automatically. its easy if they are calling your cellphone, plenty of apps to do that.

3. This is coming in on the landline phone and we have some sort

of aftermarket service, so I'll check and see if that might be an option. Thanks, I should have thought of that myself.

5. Got one today claiming my Microsoft key was expired

Huh - I don't have a Microsoft key. The Windows key on the computer I had built for me never expires.

The number for this scam is 1-844-293-7063

6. None from Apple, but I've seen a new technique to get you to answer...

The caller ID comes up with a normal sounding name and a local number rather than some other state or an 800 number. One is for resort lots and one is for health insurance.

They don't miss a trick.
