Cloud Scam

I’m receiving what is most probably scam calls that have gone through my voicemail on 2 occasions. I did not press any numbers as directed by automated message & after having received VM & knew the numbers I answered call & hung up immediately. The robotic message indicated my cloud has been breached & is corrupted on any apple device. Has anyone else received calls that originate from Washington DC or Berkley CA? If so I would appreciate your response. If not I this is a warning. Of course I forgot to jot down the numbers so I’ll get right back on so y’all can block these numbers. If you receive any calls about any breach call a legitimate Apple company number & report this with message you’ve received & phone number call originated from. There is yet another “toll free number” that your instructed to call. Be right back with the numbers I have & blocked-they have continued to call despite being blocked.

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.
