Fake Apple receipt tech support callback scam — impersonates Apple receipt/App Store invoice for large purchase (iCloud+, in-app, Apple One/TV+/Music) with callback phone number to "dispute"; connects to scammer requesting remote access or credit card for refund

Fake Apple receipt or App Store invoice emails showing a fabricated large purchase — iCloud+ storage upgrade ($299), App Store in-app purchase ($189), Apple One/TV+/Music subscription ($149), or iTunes content ($249) — with a toll-free phone number to call or dispute within 24-48 hours. The callback number connects to a scammer who then (a) requests remote desktop access to "process the refund" and uses it to steal banking credentials or install malware, or (b) directly requests credit card details to "verify the refund." Key facts: (1) Apple is the #1 most impersonated brand in tech support scams per FTC 2024 — causing $175M in annual losses from this specific variant alone; (2) Real Apple purchase receipts come from @email.apple.com or @apple.com — lookalike domains (apple-receipt-center.com, appstore-support.net) are always fraudulent; (3) Real Apple receipts never include a callback phone number — Apple support is only accessed through apple.com/support or Settings > Apple ID; (4) Real Apple charges are small and expected — fraudulent invoices feature abnormally large amounts to trigger panic and urgency. Warning signs: non-Apple sender domain, callback phone number, 24-48 hour urgency window, unexpectedly large charge amount.
