No. The callers are criminals trying to steal your personal and financial information. Hang up on them. Tell your friends and family to hang up on them.

Apple does not make such calls.
All such calls are scams from criminals attempting to steal your personal and financial information. The callers will often use number spoofing to pretend they are calling from a legitimate business. The correct course of action is to hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.

I received multiple calls from so called Apple’s main # 1 (800) MYAPPLE, that my iCloud was breached and they want me to log on to their server. Why isn’t Apple talking more about this.
This guy almost had me convinced after I ignored several of their calls and hung up on them!
I received several calls today with the phone ID showing "Apple Inc". The connection was poor. They said my iCloud password was breached. Fortunately we were having problems with our new I-Mac after the latest update to iMovie and GarageBand (Catalina 10.15.2). My husband got on the phone to discuss the problem with the "Apple" representative. After a 10 minute discussion on the issue the "Apple" representative just said to take the I-Mac to the apple store and reload all the software and hung up. The caller had a heavy indian accent. My husbands father was from Bangladesh so he would know :)
My husband reset the (SMC) System Management Controller to fix the problem. The error log was sent to Apple Support. Sleep mode issue.
i just recieved a call about i cloud being breached is this possible
Just got a call saying my iCloud had been breached. Wanted to know if this is real
I got a call saying My iCloud was breached and don’t know what to do
See responses above.
just received a third call from apple tech support that my iCloud account has been breached
Keep getting calls about account being breached from Apple Inc
Should we be reporting the phone numbers that these phfishing calls are from??
That would be pointless, because the scammers use number spoofing to pretend to be calling from any number they wish.
Don't fall for this scam.
