Reports for (855) 500-0461
Received alert while on Facebook that my iPhone was infected with Pegasus virus and to call this number. The first person who answered did not identify herself. When I asked for her name (Gabrielle Winston) she became defensive and almost run. Had a foreign accent. We were cut off and when I called back the agent who answered answered with Apple Care, how can I help you? When I was transferred to Gabrielle she gave me a story about transferrable virus that came from Pintrest or Facebook and told me not to use my phone for twenty minutes while they got rid of the virus and I would receive an alert when it was safe.
7/27/18 Received same messages on laptop as below. I called the # and answered immediately as Apple. Asked if it was really Apple and he said yes. But didn't seem right so I said I didn't trust him and hung up.
A notice. Appeared on my laptop, warning that my system was infected with a virus called, “PEGASUSâ€. I was instructed to immediately call APPLE at 1-855-500-0461 to prevent damage to my internet system. In checking my reverse phone number lookup, no business is. Even named. It’s a cell phone number and no doubt a scam.
