Apple Card fraud

Be aware of phishing scams and other nefarious schemes designed to compromise your credit card details. If you believe you’re a victim of a scam involving your Apple Card, here’s what you need to do in order to report Apple Card fraud, right from your iPhone.

If you spot a transaction made with your Apple Card that you don’t recognize, your card may be compromised. There are countless ways you can fall for one of the credit card scams on the web. For instance, maybe you followed a link in a phishing email promising a huge discount on a popular product and foolishly typed your card details into a web form.

Credit card fraud is still a huge problem so no wonder that experts caution that banks should be taking more responsibility to prevent such criminal activity. Still, many millions of dollars have been lost to fraudsters who typically resort to various tricks to do their dirty work, from social engineering to exploiting Apple Pay loopholes left open by banks.
