- Author received unexpected password reset prompts on all Apple devices despite having Lockdown Mode enabled.
- Scammers impersonated the author to Apple Support, generating legitimate case emails from Apple's servers.
- A convincing fake Apple Support representative named 'Alexander' called, initially offering solid security advice.
- The scammer directed the author to a fake Apple site (audit-apple.com) that replicated Apple's design and included a fabricated case ID.
- The fake site had a 'Sign in with Apple' button intended to steal credentials.
- Author realized the scam when they noticed the site didn't validate case IDs.
- Scammer hung up when confronted.
- Key takeaways: Never approve unsolicited password resets, Apple won't call first, and always verify URLs (legitimate Apple domains are apple.com and getsupport.apple.com).
- Scams are becoming more sophisticated, requiring heightened vigilance.
