iPhone users should be aware of this scam that invites thieves into your home.

The homeowner took the time to go through all the electronic devices in the house, but could not find the clock. Meanwhile, another of his Reddit subscribers posted a link to an article posted by his KSAT in Texas in 2017. It sounded all too familiar, even though it was over seven years ago. The story is about a man who “…rings a resident’s doorbell and presents a phone with a Find My iPhone app installed to indicate that the resident’s lost phone is inside the resident’s home.” did.

Just like in 2017, this woman’s goal was to enter homeowners’ residences to understand the layout of the home, where valuables were stored, and to know when the home was unoccupied. It might have been. What’s even more terrifying is that this woman was trying to get the owner of her home to let him in, and her accomplice sneaked up to her side and entered her home and held her at gunpoint. There is a possibility that they are committing robbery.

The KSAT report is quite old, but clearly this is a scam that is still being used today. If you find yourself in this situation, never open the door. Please call the police immediately. If a random person tells you that their girlfriend’s iPhone, iPad, AirPods, or Apple Watch is in your house, and you truly believe they are telling you the truth, you are that person. There is no objection to telling them not to move. I’m calling the police.

The woman may have told the homeowner that she would use the Find My app on her iPhone to ping her missing Apple Watch.

Another Redditor said that if the woman’s Apple Watch was inside CalciteQ’s house as she claims, she would have pressed the “play sound” button when it appeared in her iPhone’s Find My app. He said it was possible. This suggestion may have been made through Ring’s cameras, and the fact that she didn’t bring it up could indicate she’s committing fraud.
