I clicked on a possible scam link, what do I do?
I want to start this off with me apologizing if anything is unclear, since this has been possibly a year since it happened or close to it. I received a text message (the number I forgot), but it said my name, last name included. I believe it included my first name, which was a shortened version of my first name. They provided a link, I believe it said a friend or someone had tagged me in something. I asked, "who is this?" I don't remember exactly what they said, but they then asked me if I was a student at a high school I was supposed to attend, but I did not. I said no and I don't believe they replied after that. I'm still a minor so I'm pretty sure my phone would be under my parents names, plus not many people from that area had my phone number. I asked my friends and they denied tagging me and I asked one friend if they received them before and they said yes. I think they said they were guessing it was spam. I believe I clicked the link and if I remember correctly it was an app. I have an iPhone, which is not jailbroken. Would it have let me download a malicious app? I don't remember if I downloaded it or not, which is strsssing me out. What would they have wanted anyway?
Firstly, if it was a year ago and it was a malicious app it would have done whatever it wanted to do by now. Secondly, Iphones have good security so you are probably okay. If you wana be safe reset your phone. The might want your passwords, credit card details, private info to black mail you or any other personal stuff. Your probably fine don't worry just reset if you are paranoid about it.
- Possible scam on iphone IMEI number? So i'm having 2 people talk to me through gumtree mail who both sound an awful lot like each other from what they're saying and how they talk, saying that my phones deffo on contract and they need the IMEI number to check, and that they're saying it'll get blocked and someone's told them its on contract etc, and that they were nearly scammed with the same phone i bought on gumtree before, what do you guys think, it sounds a bit fishy
- Is it possible to unlock and jailbreak an iphone 4s now without it being a scam? Every website I come across turns out to be a scam (i.e. IPhone-unlocker-pro). Is there a way to truly unlock and jailbreak an iPhone 4s?
- Is it possible to link/sync iPhone to non apple laptop like Blackberry can be with Blackberry blend Currently using q10. It is easy to work as one can sync it with windows laptop with Blend. Using Blend I can even send text messages. Use shared folder and files. But with BB now over I know will have to move on. Ios is good system just like BB. But nobody in my contact uses Apple. I'm not fond of 6inch glass slab used mainly for games/movies etc.
- I clicked on a 'this site may be hacked' site? Am I at risk? On my iPhone earlier I went on the soh nails website earlier, I click so fast before I realised it said 'this site may be hacked' on the search results page. It was the legit site and nothing seemed dodgy about it, I hadn't and my iPhone seems fine. I know I can't change it, but will I be okay?
