I answered this call and the recording said it was Apple and they noticed suspicious activity with my account and prompted me to press #1 to talk to representive...that's when the scam starts! They want you to buy a service from them(with a credit card) that they will install to protect your computer. They want you to do things on your computer while they are on the phone with you, which would eventually allow them to take over your computer remotely. Apple will never contact you about your account in this manner, so don't fall for it and just hang up your phone..
