This number was left on my answering machine via an automated/robot caller @ 7 AM PST this morning stating that there was an issue with my Apple iCloud account. Because it was so early in the morning and because it sounded suspicious to me, I immediately suspected it originated in India because 7 AM PST is around 7:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time). I know this because I have to work with offshore resources as part of my job as an American IT employee.
I called the number. It took forever for someone to answer the phone. When it was answered, an young man with an Indian accent answered the phone. I asked if they were located in India, he said no. I asked what can you do for me, he said enthusiastically 'Anything! you want!'. I said that this was a scam and that I was going to report them. He then said 'F*ck You!' and I hung up the phone.
This Apple scam is cut from the same cloth as the IRS Indian scam, and the Windows Indian scam.
I am infuriated and want to know where I report this. Is it the FCC?
