Possible fraudulant phone number from Apple online store.

Just wondering if anyone in the Apple community has had experience with fraudulent phone numbers from the Apple online store. The number in question is 1 800 506 3096 with a person named Michael with ext "1111015" needing to verify an iPhone purchase from placed by my father. Only thing is my father has never owned an Apple product and really doesn't even know how to order things online. My parents checked their credit statements and found no purchases so no identity was compromised.

It was a message left on my parents home phone, the man named Michael left the number and his ext in the message saying he needed to confirm details about a new iPhone purchase placed by my father.
-Update to the situation, my mother called the actual online store number the 1 800 my apple, spoke to a supervisor asking about this number that called them, the supervisor said he would call the number himself, after on hold for a minute or two he came back and said himself that the number was an actual apple online number. I seriously doubt it because I Googled the 1 800 506 3096 number and came across numerous  posts saying they got a call from a Michael asking to confirm details about a purchase.

  • How can I get a document from apple online store with IMEI number on it?

    Hi
    I got my iPhone stolen, and currently have insurance requesting a document with IMEI number on it, I called apple and they say this doesn't exist?
    I tried to explain to insurance, but they won't listen. I have sent in packing list, shipping notification, and scan of sticker on box with IMEI and serial number.
    2nd email
    Thank you for your email. We require a document with the full IMEI number on it. Once this is received we will be able to continue processing the claim.
    Kind regards
    1st email
    thank you for sending us your documents, unfortunately the proof of purchase you have sent in does not show the serial number or the imei number, so i cannot match it to the side of the box label to use the two together for a proof of ownership .To enable us to continue with the processing of your claim, we require a valid proof of purchase for the mobile phone you are claiming for.
    This must confirm the make, model and IMEI (International Manufacturers Electronic Identity) number of your phone and can be either a letter from your airtime provider on their letter-headed paper, a copy of the original receipt or despatch note that was provided to you when your phone was purchased. (this is not a air time bill)
    Thanks a lot,

    I bought from Apple online store, and IMEI only appears on sticker on the box which I've peeled off , scanned and emailed. Called apple and they said document doesn't exist with IMEI number on it. I've saw on another post someone managed to get apple to send them receipt with all the info within 3 days so I'll call back tomorrow, just the guy I spoke today didn't think it was possible.
    Thanks

    Call the online store and ask them!  We are just users like yourself.  Besides, you will get a much faster answer directly from the horses mouth and it will be correct!

    The No Service means there is a problem with cellular service. You mention wifi in your title. Which is it you are having trouble with? What happens when you switch on and off as you state in your post? Are you saying that wifi does not connect while at home either?

  • Has anyone received a good iPod from Apple online store?

    Has anyone received a good iPod from Apple online store yet? (38th week batch without screen issue)

    Also got a week 38, came two days ago. Everything, including the LCD displaying black, seems perfect.
    I had been holding my breath for the past week. The LCD problem worried me so much that I tried to cancel my preorder to the Apple store. Becuase I had it engraved, I couldn't cancel.
    For me, it all seemed to work out.

  • Wipe my phone number from Apple imessage server

    I need to wipe my phone number from the Apple iMessage server to when I receive messages from iPhone users the message isn't parsed into 5 or more separate messages.  I turned off FaceTime and iMessages on my old iPhone 4

    If you deactivated iMessage already successfully, then your contacts who use iPhones will need to erase any existing conversation with you and start a new one - that should fix the problem with fragmented messages.

  • Why is the macbook missing from Apple online store ?

    Why is the Macbook missing from the Apple Online store ? Can someone let me know what's going on ?

    Gone, *poof*.
    I miss it and I think Apple should have kept it around as it's low key machine, great for kids and adults who didn't like a lot of flash.
    Now the 13" MacBook Pro is considered the equivalent on a similar performance basis, however it has the bright silver rich looking case that draws thieves attention and really isn't a "Pro" machine at all with it's inferior low performing integrated graphics.
    Heck most $500-$800 Windows laptops are just the same in performance and has a larger 15" screen.
    If you need a anti-glare screen you have to opt for the 15" or 17" MacBook Pro and pay $50 more for the anti-glare, but it's worth it. The 13" doesn't have a anti-glare option, but we are petitioning Apple to include that option.
    I think Apple considered the MacBook as a educational computer, thus replaced it for a line of iPads which make considerable more margins and provides less hardware benefits as all the hardware features, stand, keyboard etc. are separate purchases.

  • I ordered and received an iPad2 less than 7 days ago from Apple online store. Why was it not shipped with iOS5?

    I am extremely surprised that on ordering an iPad2 last Thursday from the online store, and receiving it Friday (excellent delivery service nonetheless) I now find it is not iOS5 (after trying to buy, download and install Numbers). I have not yet upgraded to iOS5 on my iPods and iPhones due to issues experienced by friends so am reluctant to upgrade a brand new iPad after installing apps and content over the weekend.
    I am assuming I should have been shipped an iOS5 version?

    however iOS5 has been available in the UK for ages.
    6 weeks is far from "ages".
    The iPad you received was eithe Ron the pipeline getting shipped or simply sitting on a shelf when iOS 5 was released to the manufacturing plant before it could have iOS 5 installed.
    just wanted to get some help before the Customer Service phone lines open up during business hours!
    You are planning on calling about iOS 5 not being installed?
    If so, why not simply install it?
    There's no benefit to you or the factory doing it.

  • Unlink phone number from Apple ID due to facetime

    Apple ID used for many years shared by family. Bought many songs and apps to be used on wife and kids iphone ipod touches.  NOW with facetime I want to be able to remove my phone number from that Apple ID and create a new one JUST FOR FACETIME.  Keep the original id just for purchases; sharing apps with family. Problem is our ipads use the original id and seem to be assigned my phone number and email.  I do NOT want my wife and kids getting my facetime calls and texts!!  I have created the new id but cannot seem to remove my phone number from the old id.  DO I need to completely reset my iphone to do this?  Do I also need to reset the kids ipads?

    Hi, Dranon. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here are the steps for removing your phone number from your Apple ID.  I also would recommend signing out completely of iMessage and FaceTime on any device that uses your Apple ID.
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

  • How do I de-register my phone number from Apple servers?

    I recently switched to an Android phone, specifically the Galaxy S III, and since then I can not receive messages from other iPhone users. I do not have access to my old iPhone anymore.

    Hi there, I also had recently switch from an Iphone to and Android phone and had the same problem. I used the Apple Support Chat and they got my messaging working again. You have to know your Iphone number, serial number and have a working email associated with your apple account. it took less than 5 minutes for the tech to remove my number from the apple servers/iMessage. Everything is working fine now. So happy!

  • 15" PowerBooks no longer available from Apple online stores

    I guess it's finally happening. The powerbooks are being slowly retired. My powerbook is now a classic.

    Trust what???
    I don't need Apple telling me what I need!!! ****, you sound like you have no idea about the range of user's Apple has been able to attract since OS X.
    Apple's decision to discontinue the 15" PowerBook is galactically short-sighted.
    It has to be hands-down the most popular form-factor for the business user, and as business users, we absolutely have to live in a Windows world.
    Until the MacBook can support Virtual PC, I cannot and will not upgrade. Given Microsoft's past performance, I wouldn't even hope to see VPC upgraded before 2007. You absolutely should be offering the 15", even at a special order price for those of us who will need to replace their laptops before we can switch to the MacBook.
    Bad Apple Bad. For smart guys you sure do make some stupid decisions.

  • Just received a replacement 27" iMac from apple online store, since the first one come in w defective microphone , but the replacement is used(not new), do apple selling used product as new now? Call apple care, they said someone will contact me, waiting

    Brought an iMac 27" last week, but the iMac was defective, the microphone didn't work, called they to arrange a replacement. After I send back to defective unit next day and a long wait, the replacement unit arrival today, but when I open the box, I immediately feel this is not a new product. All the packing has been open, looks like it is someone returned it and apple try to sell it as new. Call apple, they said they going to call me back , still waiting. What a bad experience !

    Call them again and tell them you want a Refund. Send it back then Order another or something else.
    EDIT:
    Apple has a 14 day No Questions Ask Return Policy for full refund. Take advantage of it and return that system.
