I know it was Apple my caller ID said so

This is why those incredibly obvious scam calls are so prevalent, you just have to hit one person like this for it all to be worth it.

One effect of the widespread availability of Caller ID spoofing is that, as AARP published in 2019, “you can no longer trust call ID.”[2][3]

For fucks sake, this was old news when I was young, how can millionaires not know that kind of shit?

I think he was aware, which is why he said he called the number back.

I’m suspicious and think that whole part of the story might be fabricated so not to appear like a TOTAL idiot. I’m 50/50 on it, but I’d wager (real) dollars that he just looked on the call display and trusted it.
