I have been getting a call from someone called Apple, Inc telling me that my icloud was accessed from mexico. Is this a hoax? Would apple ever contact me that way?

Apple does not make that type of call. It is a scam. Also see: Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

My iCloud account I got a phone call from someone saying they were Apple support saying that my Apple ICloud has been breached by someone in another country. I want to check to see if this is something that really happened.

Hacking attempt from overseas I received a phone call from "Apple" alerting me that they had detected numerous attempts to access my iCloud account from overseas. Does Apple call customers to alert them of this issue? I did not provide any personal information and hung up.

iCloud compromised I received a call from an 800 number saying my iCloud account was attempted to be accessed in England and South Africa. I suspect this call was not a legitimate call from Apple. Can you confirm?
