recieving a call from applecare
I received a call from AppleCare, they stated that my icloud was compromised and that I should log into applesupport, however they told me to open a separate window at helpme.net.. Is this a ongoing scam?

It is indeed a scam.
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.

This is a scam. Apple will never ever call you out of the blue.
That is what I thought.. how did it show on my phone AppleCare and not a phishing scam, that is what threw me off.
Phone numbers/caller IDs can be spoofed.
