☎️ Scam 🚨❗️

Transcript:
Hi, this is Laura your patient advocate. This is the message for all patients on Medicare. We have tried numerous times to contact you through the mail, and now by telephone regarding your eligibility for a new cancer screening test that would help. You detect certain cancers that you may be predisposed to. This is your final notice for the state-of-the-art test, which is a benefit of your insurance. Press one to speak to me or one of our testing Specialist, or press nine to be placed on our Do Not Call list.

This is the eighth time I’ve gotten my “final notice” !

That press will turn into "you pressed 9 to sign up for our services and now you owe us big bucks."

Dear Customer,


"Your AppIe ID ( my email address ) was locked because used to sign in from different web browser.


Date and Time: 12 August 2019, 17.59 AM UTC
Operating System: Windows


If the information above looks familiar, you can disregard this email.


If you have not signed in recently and believe someone may have accessed your account, go to AppIe lD ( https://appIeid.appIe.com ) and follow step to resolve your account before being locked permanently.


Sincerely,


AppIe Support"


I only ever used itunes and not for a couple years. I never used two devices. I figured that doesn't mean someone else didn't use two devices to get in there, so I went to itunes and there was no lockout.
