Description
I received a text telling me my Apple Pay was charged $142.22 and if it wasn’t me call the number they gave in the text. I called and they had me download Moon Pay, trust crypto and bitcoin wallet, and something that gave them assess to my phone. The man told me the person using my Apple Pay has my social security number and “to help me make sure he fixed the problem” he had my send money from my Apple Pay to the apps he had me download. When I did it said declined so I thought good now no one can get into my account. Then he told me to make sure my money is safe I need to go to the bank and withdraw $2000, almost everything I had in the bank. He said he’ll stay on the phone with me. He said something about a bitcoin ATM. I called a friend to add to the call once I got to my bank. My friend said go into the bank and talk to them. The scammer told me do not get out of my car go through the drive through. I went inside my bank and they confirmed it was a scam. The scammer had me put my social security number into the apps, my birthday, picture of my debit card that was linked to my Apple Pay and he had me take a picture of both sides of my drivers license and a picture of myself using one of the apps.
