I've been getting calls all day today with the same automated message. The message basically says that there has been suspicious activity on my iCloud and that there has been a breach. The phone number changed every time, but the same area code remained the same (408); which is San Jose. The message wanted me to contact a support number: (315) ***-****. I checked that number and noticed that it didn't match up with any of Apple's support numbers. The calls haven't stopped and my question is how can this be stopped? I assume they will stop at some point, but maybe by reporting this, it will help somehow.


I appreciate any feedback about this.

As you recognize, those calls are scammers trying to steal your Apple ID credentials. Apple will never cold call a customer with that, or any other information. Ignore the calls/block the numbers.


If you are using iOS 13, Detect and block spam phone calls - Apple Support will also be useful.

I apologize. I should have mentioned that I've been receiving these calls on my home phone, not my cell phone. That will be something that I think I probably will have to take care of. If anything, I just wanted to report that it was happening to me and that this situation was something to be aware of.


Thanks!
