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

I have received six (6) voicemail messages on my iPhone from the following telephone numbers:

866-518-7*** 866-587-0***, 866-572-0***, 866-594-2*** to call back on this number 208-262-0*** that my account has been breached and should contact Apple support advisor.

These messages left on my phone seem to be a hacker trying to get my personal information. I am concern and want to warn others about this. I have put a blocked on all those numbers and deleted the messages.

Thank you.

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.

I have been receiving the same post. I call the apple support number and after 6 minutes of waiting, I hear "Good-bye" and am disconnected. I called again this morning and the voice said "Thank you for calling Amazon, but then he jung up quickly"

I have refuse to send all my info, such as name, add. etc and also credit card # etc. How can I report this and have some action take?

I received a Robo call that my iCloud account had been breached today, 10/20/20. Call from (818) 726-**** noted from Burbank California. I hung up but it freaked me out especially since I can’t call Apple to verify it’s a fraud.

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.
