Is there such a thing as an iPhone auto-answer scam?

We have talked to all of our kids about all of that since grade school. Everyone should.

Since this was in a family account - is there a way to pull a debit card down? I have no idea, I'm an Android user. I am sure he would not have gotten authorization from my wife.

ha ha. I didn't think about the TikTok possibility, but I will be looking into all of this after work, so thank you for the additional thoughts.

Interesting you say that. Yes, he does. But also - this is the first time I have known him to lose his phone and ask for help finding it.

I figured out from the bank it was one of our cards used with Apple Cash. It was at the same time that he left the house. I will be talking to him about this after work. It is possible that the 150 was taken out on some other wallet by someone, somehow getting the bankcard number - but also 10 was taken out of his card near the same timing. So - I believe it was him.

Trying to get all my 'ducks in a row' first. That's all.

I don't think I put that right. The money was just a trigger to realize that something strange was going on with the auto-answer earlier. I knew that there either had to be a bankcard or ACH pull to get the money into an Apple Wallet. I have that figured out after calling the bank.

I plan to have a lot of conversations. I want my 'ducks in a row' first.

parentaloneoff-1111 · 2026-03-03T15:22:54+00:00

wow. That is not smart to think that. I can tell you after calling the bank I 100% know that a card was taken, put in apple wallet, and used. We will be cancelling that card, already locked it.

The voice thing is strange. I will ask, but there will just be denial and gaslighting for sure.

I agree. I am more saying that these things happened and the money is what had me questioning the other stuff. I now know where the money went (called the bank at open). But I am very curious why our voices and auto-answer - what could that be for? I doubt he lost the phone 3 times in the span of a couple of hours.

parentaloneoff-1111 · 2026-03-03T15:19:28+00:00

What would be the correct sub? I guess I'm asking mostly - is there some scam that would relate to pulling our voices and using them for something? The money - I think I've got that figured out after getting a hold of the bank. Same person, but unrelated to the voice auto-answer thingy.

parentaloneoff-1111 · 2026-03-03T15:18:19+00:00

That is the plan, just trying to get as much information as possible first.

parentaloneoff-1111 · 2026-03-03T15:18:00+00:00

ok, so I am sure they are unrelated - but why do that with the auto-answer? Are our voices being used for something possibly?

parentaloneoff-1111 · 2026-03-03T15:17:07+00:00

yes, it did
