(315) 524 in Ontario, NY

This phone number was used to perpetrate ID theft 03/29/2022. Caller claimed to be an IT technician with Apple Support. The scheme involves convincing the caller their iPhone is in the process of being hacked and using downloaded banking and paying apps to move access the owners accounts and transfer money out of their accounts. In effect, it is true but it is the caller -using very intelligent methods of persuasion- is hacking the receiver victim in real time. Receiver will eventually be directed to download a crypto currency app ("STRIKE") on their phone and set up an account, enter their banking information, and transfer money out of their bank account directly into the STRIKE account. After the transfer the caller takes control of the STRIKE account and the receiver becomes the victim.
