<DIV>iPhone and iPad scammers hit users with iOS crash warnings - here's how
to<BR>block them James Titcomb The Daily Telegraph, 16/7/15 Users are
reporting<BR>fake crash reports demanding payment in order to fix their Apple
devices.<BR>iPhone and iPad users have reported receiving pop-up notifications
telling<BR>them that their software has crashed and that they must dial a
support<BR>helpline to fix it.<BR>Scammers have targeted Safari, the default web
browser for iOS devices,<BR>telling users in the US to ring the helpline and pay
between $19 and $80 to<BR>fix it.<BR>Users in the UK have also reported the
issue, with one saying they had been<BR>asked for £20 to fix the crash.<BR>When
browsing Safari, users receive a notification saying: "Warning!! iOS<BR>Crash
Report!!. Due to a third party application in your device, iOS is<BR>crashed.
Contact Support for Immediate Fix."<BR>Other users have reported a message
saying "There is a problem with the<BR>configuration of your iOS. Please call
Apple Technical Support." Some users<BR>said the pop-up had frozen activity on
their browser.<BR>They are given one of a series of numbers to dial - including
0800 279 6211,<BR>0800 652 4895 and 0800 310 1061 in the UK. Users of the Apple
support forum<BR>said that on dialling the numbers, they were told that a third
party app was<BR>stealing their data, and demanded credit card details in order
to fix it.<BR>In two calls to the numbers from The Telegraph, a representative
answered<BR>the phone as "iOS security" and claimed to be "a security provider
for<BR>Apple". The operator repeatedly asked for the iPad's serial number and
said<BR>there would be a charge to fix the problem. When The Telegraph asked
for<BR>more details about the business such as an address and website, the
operator<BR>twice cancelled the call.<BR>The scam was first reported in the US
in November last year but is still<BR>being used and has spread to the United
Kingdom.<BR>How to fix it and block the crash reports Apple has directed users
to a<BR>support page that explains how to fix it. Here's how to prevent the
pop-ups.<BR>1. Turn your device on to "airplane mode", either by swiping up from
the<BR>bottom of the screen and tapping the plane logo, or going to Settings
and<BR>toggling Airplane Mode on.<BR>2. Delete your Safari data by going to
Settings > Safari > Clear History and<BR>Website Data 3. Open Safari and
exit Airplane Mode To prevent the issue<BR>happening again, go to Settings >
Safari > Block Pop-ups.</DIV>
