Totally agree that I don't know the Apple eco system and that made it easier. It was a legit apple support email. Even compared all email headers with the email I received after I called Apple support and opened a new case. I gave them all the info I could.

It was definitely phishing, I'd even say spear phishing as the knew all of my details without me giving it out. I assume from leaked data somewhere.

I'm pretty sure that they were able to create a support case with me details and scheduled it for that time so they had the case number and knew to call before that time.

I had one a about a month ago now that I was actually impressed with how they did it.

I have a Apple account just for the kids Apple devices (required for school). Received an email from Apple support about fraudulent activity and that they'd call at sometimes. I thought that was weird and checked out the email and everything was legit.

Call came in a little early then in the email. They knew all the right details including the case number, sent a verification code to my mobile from a short code SMS "iCloud" and at that point they had me. But only until they asked me to go to a site apple.somebullshit.com. Well apple isn't going to use a domain that's not *.apple.com. went there anyway to check and the SSL cert was from Let's encrypt, apple ain't using let's encrypt.

20 years in IT, that's the closest I've been in. Very long time to falling for something.

Thier lesser known sibling was actually a pirate. It's said that they were one of the most successful pirates ever having buried a vast amount of the treasure they'd acquired. They were always able find what they burried by leaving a signed symbol at the spot. Even though they never learnt to read or write, they'd sign everything with an 'X'.

We get it you have friends, Geez!

I hope someone knocks this guy and their friends on their arses.

But then how would I look at my phone while using my Desktop.

I'll need a dummy phone to doom scroll on.

Sir! There appears to be a small galaxy heading right for us.

That's no galaxy! That's space force!

568A, and I'm ready to fight!

Who needs the law when you've got money!

Oh, you don't have money. I guess you need the law.

This is the way!

But only the white middle aged men with regular male names and above average height.

And it only takes 22 seconds to consume.

Yes, but still never zero.

That's right kids. You should always avoid alliteration!

Nah, I think it'd go more like this:

• Get it in the elevator and see them all in there.
• Go to press the button for your floor (the top floor) and see that it's already pressed.
• Have a pleasant trip up.
• Arrive at your floor and the doors open.
• All three politely allow you to exit first.
• Step out of the lift safely.
• Elevator malfunctions, plummets and crashes through the foundation.
• Walk off thinking how nice they all were.

Where's the profit in empathy?

I believe you have my stapler...

That depends on how small a fraction of the profits are paid, smaller fraction = more sorry.
