Great catch! I would be interested in how scammers keep coming up with these new methods? How would they even validate their new attack vector? I would like to think that there’s scam A/B testing or something similar…

This kind of techniques is also used to send underground gambling, crypto, sex and so on scams on Apple&#x27;s platform targeting Chinese speaking community in the past few years.<p>They will typically change their name to scam text just like the one here and share an album in iCloud Photos to the victim. This will trigger a legit notification email from Apple to you and a push notification on your Apple devices. Both has low chance of being filtered by anyone.<p>Moral aspect apart, it is a very clever way of exploiting a system.
