Only if you told them what it was. Otherwise, there's no reason at all to change it.


The crooks who make these calls don't even know if the person they're trying to scam even has an Apple ID. They just start out with the "threat" and hope for the best.


I get at least a dozen calls a year from "Microsoft support" saying my Windows computer is infected.
