Apple's first foldable won't accept preorders until Oct. 16, so anything promising an early order exists for one purpose: stealing your data.
The calendar is the tell. Apple's first foldable cannot be preordered anywhere until Oct. 16 — which means any message, ad or checkout page claiming otherwise is, by definition, a fraud.
CNET's warning centers on a scam that exploits precisely that gap: counterfeit preorder offers for a device that is not yet open for sale, engineered to extract data from eager buyers. The mechanics are simple but effective. Consumers primed by hype for a first-of-its-kind product tend to leap at a plausible-looking offer the moment it appears, and urgency is the fraudster's favorite silencer of skepticism. The real prize is not hardware — which does not exist for sale — but whatever personal information a would-be customer types into a fake order flow.
That data is the entire point of the exercise. CNET flags the campaign specifically as one capable of stealing your data, framing the informational loss as the headline risk rather than a side effect. Data, once handed over, is not a loss that shows up on a receipt, which is part of what makes this class of scam quieter and harder to unwind than an ordinary fraudulent charge.
The practical guidance falls straight out of the timeline. There is exactly one legitimate preorder moment — Oct. 16 — and until it arrives, no legitimate preorder exists. Any offer that gets there first, through whatever channel, should be treated as the scam CNET describes. Buyers who want the device when it debuts are better served waiting on Apple's own channels than engaging with anything that reaches them ahead of the official date.
Scarcity plus hype is a reliable recipe for fraud. Here, the defense costs nothing: trust the date, doubt the shortcut, and let Oct. 16 come to you.
