Spam calls about iCloud breach

Recorded calls telling me my iCloud has been breached. Press one to connect to customer service (hangs up before I connect). Spam?

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.
