Security Breach Phone Call

Anyone receiving a call saying that their account has unauthorized accesses & to not attempt any purchases? I’m the only one with my account information & when I called the number back, it was an 18+ Live Chat number?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13

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.
