In the latest edition of the Apple Crime Log, we uncover various Apple-related crimes and scams. From pro athletes falling victim to iCloud catfishing to a massive $2 million iPhone heist, the world of Apple products is not immune to criminal activity.
Miami Man Faces Charges for Multi-Million Dollar iPhone Theft
A 64-year-old man from Florida, Jeffrey Moore, found himself in hot water after allegedly stealing nearly $2 million worth of iPhones from a FedEx facility in Doral. Moore made off with 38 shipping boxes filled with iPhone 17 Pro Max devices, totaling close to 1,800 phones.
The theft occurred after a phone call to the facility claiming renovations prevented them from receiving deliveries, prompting employees to pick up a shipment. Moore arrived at the facility with fake credentials and a U-Haul truck, loading up the stolen iPhones before fleeing the scene. Despite the real manager’s attempt to stop them, Moore and his accomplice managed to escape, only to be apprehended over 300 miles away.
Ford’s Phishing Scam Targets Professional Athletes
In Georgia, federal prosecutors have indicted Kwamaine Jerell Ford for running a phishing scam targeting iCloud accounts of professional athletes. Ford posed as a female adult film star to gain access to the athletes’ accounts, following a previous conviction for hacking into Apple accounts.
The elaborate scheme involved impersonating an Apple customer support representative and a popular adult film star to deceive the athletes. Ford now faces multiple charges, including wire fraud, computer fraud, and sex trafficking.
