iCloud compromised?

I’ve got 3 phone calls saying my iCloud account has been compromised. How can I verify this is true?

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.
