Apple ID Compromised

I just received a call that my apple Id has been compromised. Is this a legit call? They said to call ****-***-0176

Do not call the number.



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.
