Scam call?
I’ve received several calls identified as Apple support warning of My ICloud account being compromised. Is this a scam call? I was given a phone # claiming to be toll free. It did not appear to be a toll free #.

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.
