a phone call from 'Apple' no less. Seriously, that should be a huge clue something very wrong is going on. Google, Microsoft, IBM, Apple, they don't call you. They have no interest in talking to you. And if you have an iPhone, Apple doesn't need to call you to reach you, they control the device they would be calling you on.
