Many iPhone
users while working on safari, finds that a pop on the screen came up and says
that that a virus corrupted my phone making pictures, banking and social media functions
compromised and need to call this number 1-844-423-2464 claiming Apple Support
to fix the problem. Sometimes the pop will say something like “Warning Virus
Detected” or “we have detected 3 viruses”, click on some link to fix
this or call at some number. It is quit surprising that issue is also in latest iOS 11 safari browser. Below is one example of such pop up:
Let me
clear this at first instance that no genuine company in this world would detect
or fix any problem like this, you should always consult company store for any
assistance. There is no way for anyone
to know, just because you went to a web site, whether your iphone have an
infection or not. These are hackers from other countries are preying on
innocent citizens. Any such popup message will always be a scam.
What to
do to avoid such issue or hacker:
It's a
scam. If this happens again, do not call any phone numbers.
Just in case, tap Settings > Safari then
swipe down and tap Clear History & Website Data.But make sure do not call on any such unauthorized phone number or email address. These are usually hackers seeking for your personal information to making any banking fraud. So pleases avoid any such messages or pop ups.
