This kind of stuff is horrifying to me and why I willingly pay the Apple Tax. At the end of the day they have stores full of humans I can walk into and tell my sob story to and excellent telephone support.

I don't believe it works the way you think it does:

That is fine but the scam started by reassigning the SIM; something not related to Apple. I am not having enough criminal fantasy but in your Apple World you live in a monoculture...usually this makes it just easier for intruders to make problems.
