Call received that my Apple iCloud account has been breached - May 29, 2020

As I am sure it has been said many times in this thread, but Apple DOES NOT CALL CUSTOMERS TO REPORT COMPROMISE. You will find out on your own that your account has an issue and call them. And why can't you call Apple? Thats what their tech support and security teams are for? If you believe you may have your account compromised see: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204145 for more details.

How do you tell if a phone call is actually from apple or a scam?

If you have not previously arranged for a call-back from Apple, it will be a scam. 100% of the time, no exceptions.

It’s a scam that’s been around for a few years. Ignore it. Do not reply.

Have had over 10 calls today. Messed with them by connecting with 'Apple Support' engineer (heavy accent).

I asked him to verify he was with Apple, he said don't worry I will answer that later.

Demanded I navigate to

That is a remote sharing app - I refused

Claiming network is breached and it is allowing access to iCloud, wanted to change system network settings.

Had me run the Windows netstat command to show how many connections to my system there were, claimed that those are not ok.

I told him there is no way Apple would have me work on an unknown device to them claiming it was effecting their iCloud service. He hung up.

What a joke, but a big annoyance with the huge number of calls that I have received. Filling up my voice mail. No way to report the issue as they are rotating the number called from

You can block each one and it will go straight to voicemail. They're spoofing the numbers so they can change them at will. Otherwise i still get them and there isn't much else you can do. I posted to my Facebook warning people of this scam. That way maybe a few less people will get caught in the trap.

Apple will not call you regarding your account. In the unlikely event there is ever an issue, you will know when you attempt to login to the account.

All such calls are fake. Apple does not cold call their customers.

Ignore the phone calls.

What shall I do?

These messages are still going around. I just received one claiming my Ipod account had been breached. It's a Itunes account not Ipod so I knew it was a scam. The'll try anything and thanks for posting this.

I received one of these calls today Jan 11, 2021,

Instructions to call back to contact Apple Advisor, press 1 to connect.

Figured it was a bogus call, so checked Apple Support and found other similar attack of others have been posted.

Thanks to other Apple users for their notification

Just now, received a call from 1(800)847-**** with a recorded message saying there was a breach of my iCloud account. Sounded convincing, but I hung up and checked this site. NO mention of a breach here. I'm blocking the number now.

Still a scam.

My husband is getting them also dozens daily ,but doesn’t own any apple items. None. Never has.
