A new phone-based phishing scam that spoofs Apple Inc. is likely to fool quite a few people. It starts with an automated call that display's Apple's logo, address and real phone number, warning about a data breach at the company. The scary part is that if the recipient is an iPhone user who then requests a call back from Apple's legitimate customer support Web page, the fake call gets indexed in the iPhone's "recent calls" list as a previous call from the legitimate Apple Support line.
