I had a phone call from an 800 number saying they were apple. They said my phone was compromised in several foreign countries. Not knowing if this is for real I just said I would call Apple but can’t find any number to do that

How do I check with apple to see if it really was them that called me

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

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.
