(Hosting-NewsWire.com, January 02, 2016 ) Wangen bei Olten, Solothurn -- Swiss-QA issues warning to all iPhone users about a particular iOS scam that alludes to phishing scam. The US and the UK, in particular, were hounded by a scam that forced iPhone users to report an alleged iOS crash to a dubious number claiming to be from "iOS Report", an Apple Support Community. This anomaly occurred last July 2015.
The suspicious iOS scam was very simple. An anonymous pop-up message would appear informing the iPhone or iPad user that their iOS crashed. The message continues to say that in order for the alleged failed operating system to be repaired, the receiver of the scam warning message will have to pay. The amount stated in the anomalous pop-up advice was slated between US$19.00 (£12.74/€17.32) and US$80.00 (€72.93/£53.65).
Swiss-QA strongly suggests that if any iPhone or iPad user encounters a message similar to this (most especially to users in Europe and in other parts of the world), the wisest thing to do is not to give attention to this scam notice. Instead, Swiss-QA instructs to contact immediately the respective carriers/mobile service providers to verify the devices' iOS status or to do the following steps in avoiding being cheated off entirely.
First thing to do is to disable wireless transmission. This can be done by entering iPhone or iPad settings and choosing "Airplane Mode". Once done, the wireless transmission will be greyed out. This has to be done so that further notification from any anomalous sender/s will be halted.
Second thing to do is to delete the device's internet browser data. In this case, open the settings page, proceed to Safari, and choose "Clear History and Website Data". Doing this will clear/remove all tracking information from the browser.
And lastly, re-open Safari web browser and disable Airplane mode. By doing this, the internet browser is flushed and any or all cookies would have been reset to zero. Anomalous notices such as the reported iOS scam advice depends on cookies. Cookies are small snippets of browsing data stored in the web browser's cache.
While the reported scam happened months ago, Swiss-QA still advices iPhone and iPad users to stay vigilant. Scammers never choose any month or time of day to attack. Swiss-QA strongly suggests avoiding third party sites that offer freebies and/or invitations to play a free online game. Chances are great that a small hacking program or malicious code would have infected the unsuspecting device.
