Apple does not make such calls.

The calls are scams from criminals trying to steal your personal and financial information.

You’re quite welcome.

Do note that such calls are not limited to calls regarding iCloud issues. The criminals use number spoofing to pretend to be calling from a legitimate company...... they are not.
