For the forth time this week I got a phone call from a telephone that

was it emily (or whatever her name is this week) from the hotel resort?

They give me a number to call, which does not compare with any
legitimate Apple number. I have reported this phony number to Apple.


there's nothing apple or anyone else can realistically do. the calls
are almost certainly coming from outside the usa, and it's only going
to get worse.


So you are saying that the number they ask me to call cannot be traced?
According to one of my friends, who was an engineer with the original
AT&T, and another friend who is retired from a TLOF agency, just about
any number can be traced, though some with more difficulty than other's.

I also heard some horror stories about some who were naive enough to
either press the requested button, or call the number they ask you to call.
