Hey there Gregjm99,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand youâve received some calls about your iCloud account being breached and you want to know if these were a phishing attempt. Iâll be happy to help with this.
âScammers spoof phone numbers and use flattery and threats to pressure you into giving them information, money, and even iTunes gift cards. Always verify the caller's identity before you provide any personal information. If you get an unsolicited call from someone claiming to be from Apple, hang up and contact us directly.â This is taken from:
Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams
The fact that they attempted to contact you 4 times in one day does seem suspicious to me. If you have any concerns about your account, you can always reach out to Apple Support directly at the following link. They can take steps to verify your identity and help out:
Cheers.
