spoofing

Cell phones across Central New York have been getting numerous spam calls that tell the recipient their Apple or iCloud account has been breached. Calls have been received all over Utica, and beyond.

Has this happened to you? Your phone rings, and the caller ID says the call is coming from the 315 area code - so you answer - and it's a telemarketer. Well, now the Feds are stepping in.

If anything like this happens: don't answer, it's a scam. "Spoofing" to be more specific.
