I realize this, but still it was spooky getting the iCloud scam call (on our message machine, we don’t pick up for unknown callers) less than 12 hours after creating an iCloud account to use with my wife’s new iPhone (without any previous Apple device registered to her). I had to talk myself down.

I really don’t understand how they can spoof our own land line number (or any number for that matter). Caller ID implementation seems stuck in the 1980s.
