Cape May police are warning residents about a sophisticated scam in which criminals pose as Apple representatives and federal agents, threaten victims with arrest and, in some cases, instruct them to purchase gold bars as payment. According to SouthJerseyNewsBeat.com, police said Thursday that victims in recently reported incidents believe they lost a substantial amount of money and were then instructed by the scammers to liquidate additional assets.The scheme typically begins with a phone call or email purporting to be from Apple, who claims the victim's computer has been corrupted and what it will cost to fix it.
