Getting calls stating that they are from Apple support and that my iCloud account has been compromised. Is anyone else getting these calls.

Anyone else getting phone calls about iCloud account being compromise? They say they are from Apple Support. Sounds fishy.

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.
