Interesting, I know a senior that was tricked by such a scam. They saw a fake iOS alert on their iPad that said their bank accounts had been hacked and believed it because they trusted Apple. If they were better educated by their bank or how Bitcoin works (irreversible settlement) then I wonder if they would have fallen for it. I doubt Apple see any focus in such recommendations, or phone providers that facilitate the connection to the scammers but that’s where a lot of these scams start.
