I have gotten 3 automated phone calls today saying ICloud account has some unusual activity and press the prompts for assistance. Needless to say, I do not believe this is valid. Am I correct?

You are correct.


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.
