Call from Apple

I just received a call from someone saying they were with Apple and that my icloud account was being accessed by someone in Columbus, Ohio and Houston, Texas at the same time. Is this correct?

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.
