Getting calls stating my iCloud account has been hacked.

I have been getting phone calls from Apple.Inc ****-7753 stating my ICloud account has been hacked. Is this for real or a 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.
