Report it, delete it and move on with your day. These scammers have become so prevalent now…that I treat everything as a scam until I can prove otherwise.


Tell your friends, family and colleagues about this so these scammity scammers have fewer targets. If this isn’t what you’re asking please post back and we will try and assist.

Thank you for reaching out. 🤗


  • The text message you received was a scam.
  • Simply block, report and delete the message.
  • Never click any links or call phony phone numbers they provide!
  • The phony text message will never mention you by name because they don’t know it.


🛑 Apple will never send you a text message‼️⚠️


Important: If you receive a suspicious email or SMS text message that looks like it’s supposed to be from Apple, please email it to [email protected].
