Sean Gallagher at Ars Technica reports that he received an email that was formatted to look like an official iCloud security warning from Apple. The message had a link to a webpage in southern India, which then forwarded him to yet another webpage made to look like the official Apple support site. This secondary page then used JavaScript to start a dialog box on his phone to start a phone call. According to Gallagher, it will also initiate a FaceTime session on an iOS device. Gallagher has sent the details along to both Apple and Google's security response teams. We've reached out to Apple for comment and will update this post when we hear back.

Update 07/30/18 3:00PM - Apple declined to comment on this specific matter, but pointed us to a couple of resources it has online. A spokesperson also assured us that Apple investigates all scams it is aware of, refers cases to the FTC where appropriate and takes down fake numbers when it can.
