Potential Spam on Phone
Have had several calls on iPhone in last 2 days saying my iCloud account had been breached. Is this Spam or real? How can I tell?
iPhone 5c, iOS 10

Unfortunately, it is a very common scam.
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.
