The author claims in a comment that the scammer was able to contact her because Apple leaked her email address with the activation prompt. That's not likely, as that prompt **'s out most of the email address (you get the first letter of the part before the @).
She most likely had a 'lost mode' message set for the device.
- onesociety2022 2y agoAgree - what the author claims doesn’t seem likely. I would be worried about my email address leaking. My email address has my full name. So they can easily find out where I live and work if they spend a bunch of time googling my name. Exposing my Phone number would almost be preferable over exposing my email address in this scenario.
