Do they accept bitcoin?
They only accept Google Play Store gift cards. Those are very valuable to Apple.
I hear it’s Tim Apple’s power play: Cut off potential users to the competitors by buying out gift card supplies, so they cannot acquire new users. It’s really smart if you think about it!!
it’s a direct wallet to Tim Apple himself
Looks legit. Definitely click on it and give it your credit card details.
I signed up for updates. Apparently there’s some Nigerian prince and he’s got this giant cache of wealth that they’ll transfer to me. You guys should totally check it out I personally stand to make $300m off this deal!
i clicked on it and got connection timed out
That's actually a really good phish.
My mother could fall for that. My grandmother definitely would.
Other than the use of a comma instead of full stop, it’s almost warming to see the scammers attempt to create a literate scam
While everyone is reveling in how obvious it is, it is important to remember that the vast majority of scams are targeted at the elderly and uneducated. As the tech savvy in the family it's our job to coach them on best practice. I know you all know this but there's always the chance someone doesn't. Protect your grandparents ✌🏻
@tdawg absolutely! we need to educate our older relatives about scams like this!
