iCloud account
I just received a recorded phone call, identified only as 'Apple Inc' but with no phone number which said my iCloud account has been breached and not to use it. Is this a legitimate call or another scam?

It's a scam - there's been a rash of this particular one recently. Apple will never call you except if you have set up a call back as a Support case. Never respond to calls of this sort: just hang up.

That was my guess, but I redialed the number and got connected directly to Apple. Waiting for help now. Thanks
Just be careful - be really sure you are actually talking to Apple. Redialled what number? did you get it from Apple's website?
It's the same number as on their website and the tech confirmed it was a scam - their number has been spoofed. They asked for no personal info or IDs. Thanks for your help.
