Is this a SCAM?

I keep getting calls from this number 800-275-**** saying it is apple support and my information has been compromised. They requested I go to a website so he can connect to my computer. Is this a scam?

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.
