Has anyone else received calls from 800-344-**** of 800-115-****? Its a recording saying that my icloud/apple account has been breached and not to make any on line purchases on my electronics. Is this a scam? Thanks

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.

The calls are fairly common and they are a scam. Apple does not make unsolicited phone calls. The number shown on most scam and telemarketing calls is a spoofed number and not the number actually originating the call.

Oops forgot to mention it was a recording that requested me to stay online for assistance but I hung up each time.
