Fraudulent phone calls?

How do I report excessive phone numbers from area code 757, they answer Apple support. Will you verify that you do not call us for possible breach on my Apple account.  I would have to call, correct?

You seem to suffer from the misconception that the displayed calling numbers are anything other than lies, just like the contents of the calls.


Calling telephone numbers are routinely spoofed/faked/false, just like email sending addresses are spoofed.


Reporting these numbers means you’re reporting innocent bystanders. Just like replying to most spam. Don’t even think of clicking on the link to opt out of spam messages.


Who to complain to? Complain to your legislators about the sad state of telephone communications.
