I received a call that stated there was suspicious activity on my iCloud account. I was not able to transfer to Apple support at the time. I called the number back and I got an error message. Does anyone know if this is real or a scam?
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.

Thank you! That was my gut feeling but thought I would ask.
You’re quite welcome.
Stay vigilant, as the scammers are always trying new methods to scare us.
