Call on my IPhone 10

Received a call from 800 number saying my Apple/ICloud account was compromised. I am thinking this is a phishing scam.

iPhone X, iOS 13

You are correct in thinking it is 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.
