iPhone users warned about Apple Pay texts that steal money
Heads up, iPhone users: there's a new Apple Pay scam making the rounds.
Scammers are sending fake texts about "a suspicious transaction has been detected" and asking you to call a number where they pretend to be Apple Support or even law enforcement.
It's all designed to trick you into moving money, withdrawing cash, or buying gift vouchers.
Check Apple Pay, use official support
Watch out for random texts about your Apple Pay activity, especially if they push you to call a specific number or act fast.
Remember, Apple says it never sends these kinds of messages or asks for sensitive details by text or phone.
If something feels off, check your Apple Pay directly on your device and only contact support through official channels, not numbers from random texts.
Screenshot texts and email reportphishing@apple.com
If you get one of these sketchy messages, save it as a screenshot and email it to reportphishing@apple.com and hang up right away if someone calls claiming they're from Apple Support.
Never share your full password or PIN with anyone by phone.
Apple does not send unsolicited texts asking you to call support or hand over sensitive information and banks won't ever ask for them.
Stay sharp!
