iCloud phone call scam?

Are the Apple phone calls telling me my iCloud has been compromised a phishing 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.
