Suspicious text messages about iCloud account activation

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].

Learn how to:

• Recognize and avoid social engineering schemes including phishing messages, phony support calls and other scams.
• Identify legitimate emails from the App Store or iTunes Store.

Good luck! 👋🏼😉

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 scam scammers have fewer targets.

More than likely yes.

You can always check your cloud storage directly on your device.
