I keep getting phone messages stating that my apple icloud account has been breached

I keep getting phone messages stating that my apple icloud account has been breached. Am sure it is a scam as number to call back seems to be in Canada. Can you just verify that all is well? I get many phone calls a day for about a week now and have NOT returned any of them

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.
