Spam call

So I just got a phone call that said potential spam. They left an voicemail stating that my iCloud account had been breached. Was this you guys or was it people trying to scam?

It is a very common scam attempt.


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.
