Number claiming to be apple

I have confirmed that 512-526-5284 is a call back number for the Apple Campus in Austin, TX.

Note that scammers and telemarketers can and do "spoof" Caller IDs.

The Caller ID may appear to be a legitimate number, but that does not prove that the person on the other end of the line is actually calling from that number. The call might be from a scammer who was clever enough to use a real Apple phone number as their disguise.

You could try checking the status of your order online, or contacting Apple using the "Ask a Specialist" link on the Apple Store page.

I have confirmed that 512-526-5284 is a call back number for the Apple Campus in Austin, TX.

In general though, Apple’s Official number is 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273), never trust unsolicited or suspicious calls from anyone claiming to be Apple, just hang up.

You can report scam phone calls to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov.

For what it's worth.....Area Code 512 is Austin TX, and there is a substantial Apple facility there.

If you have placed a recent order, it is possible that there may be a question regarding that.

I think I would wait for another email message though.
