Is there any suspicious calls using my device

I just received a call saying they were from Apple Support. The person said I had a bunch of suspicious activity on my account. Is this a hoax

It is indeed a hoax. The callers are criminals trying to steal your personal and financial information. Hang up on them.

Yes, that is a scam call. Do not answer any questions and just hang up.
