Ok...so for the last couple of days...

I've been getting phone calls on my cell from Apple Support...but its an automated message, as if I called them somehow and asking I press some number. I have no reason too, given my current and last phone are Android...and the one before that was Windows. Refuse to have an Apple product...despite using them heavily in high school and in college.

It's gotten real annoying and so I've been blocking the numbers.

Let me guess, numbers are spoofed and its a scam.

Sort of nice to know if it is a scam or something else. It is usually a scam

It drives me crazy to not know who called, so I look them up. I don't answer my phone very much any more, but I grew up when you answered every call. Hard to change something that is ingrained into you.

if we don't know the number, we do not answer - which is 180 from how we were raised.

Always had to answer by the 3rd ring.
I feel like the retired fire horse sometimes - I hear the bell, but I stop myself before I go to the fire.
