Possible account compromise

I have received multiple Robo calls claiming that my iCloud account may have been compromised and that I should not use the account on any of my devices until I have reported to Apple support. They gave me a ability to directly send to Apple support which I did not take it vantage of. I’m concerned that this in another itself may be a scam. how should I proceed.

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.
