No, this is a scam that is circulating. If you are ever concerned someone has breached your Apple ID change the password by following these steps - https://support.apple.com/HT201355

The calls are not from Apple. The calls are not legitimate.

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