Comment on Nearly two-fifths of robberies in London last year were for mobile phones
frazorth@feddit.uk 10 months agoHow do you send a phishing text to a phone you have stolen? The owner would either not get the text, or get it via iMessage which the response wouldn’t appear on the stolen phone. I’m not following this tactic, so I’m obviously missing something.

The owner tries to call the number from another phone, usually a mobile.

So the owner calls the phone, which is answered by the thief who pretends to be Apple?
Interesting.

They don't necessarily have to answer. They can just note the number that appears on-screen
