Computer Help and Support

The only thing besides the message was a red button marked "OK." There was no link.

What made me really suspicious was I tried contacting Apple support automatically from my phone, and I kept getting emails from Apple that said they were trying to call me but went to voice mail. I was afraid the other "device" was getting the calls.

Now that I think of it, those emails might have been the actual scam. I didn't even open them when they popped up on the app on my phone. If I had, maybe then I would have gone somewhere bogus.

Instead, I googled Apple support and called them from that number. The tech had me change my password on my Apple ID and then disconnect other devices in case there really was another device involved. Then, he even called me back to make sure I was getting calls.

If this was phishing, it was way more sophisticated than emails in poorly worded English. But I believe all is now well.
