Fake iPhone preorder scam dangles $500 discount to drain crypto wallets
Original: iPhone Duo Fake Preorder Uses $500 Bait To Target Crypto Wallets
A fake preorder campaign for an iPhone duo is being used to lure victims with an advertised $500 discount, with the goal of reaching their crypto wallets rather than selling phones. Reports indicate the offer pushes targets toward steps that expose wallet credentials or seed phrases. The scam piggybacks on strong consumer interest in new iPhone preorders, and observers warn buyers to stick to official retail channels.
Why now: Scams tied to hot new iPhone preorders spike during launch periods, and the crypto-theft angle makes the warning timely.
