    So are you saying the original email genuinely was from Apple? If so do you have any idea how the scammers got all that info? And did you ever receive the legitimate call back from Apple?

      Yeah it was a legit apple support email and I compared it to the email I received after calling apple and starting a new case to give them all the info I could about the scam.

      I assume that got my info from a data leak somewhere.

      I’m just speculating but maybe they (scammers) filled out a fraudulent activity form on the Apple site on behalf of the victim and then called before an Apple rep did.
