Malicious application

I got a notice from support.apple.com/security about a virus. It telling me to call an Apple Helpline at 866-229-0**8. Is this an authentic apple telephone number?

No that will be a scam, Apple would never contact you like that.

Plus there are no viruses that affect the mac.
