What happened
A fraudulent page impersonating Apple promises a $750 Apple Cash reward after a fake device verification. The eligibility check is a timer, the verification checks nothing, and the claim button reopens the same download link, routing users through affiliate tracking links to app installs and sign-ups. Urgency features such as a falling spots-left counter and randomised claim pop-ups are scripted.

What to do
- Close the page if you land on it.
- Do not download apps or create accounts to claim a promised Apple reward.
- Remember that Apple Cash and Apple Gift Cards are not unlocked by a website after you install an app.
- Treat anyone asking you to pay them with an Apple Gift Card as a likely scammer.
