Call from 800 275 2273 claiming they're Apple Tech Support

Got a suspicious call claiming they're from Apple Tech Support. I was asked of some inquiry because they believe my phone has been hacked. I then stopped and asked in case we get disconnected; to what number I should call back? His reply was we'll simply call back but you can google our phone number. Then I asked if I can call back later because I'm at work. He then hung up without saying anything else.


So I googled this phone number and it stated they'll pretend to be Apple Tech Support but in reality its a scam? Please confirm if this is true? I want to make sure I don't dig myself into this hole if you know what I mean. Thanks.

Phishing.

The callers are criminals trying to steal your personal and financial information. Hang up on them.
