It is a scam. Apple doesn't make unsolicited phone calls. If there was a problem you would be notified when attempting to log in, including when logging into this forum. Also see: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204759


Also, the caller id number shown on scam and marketing calls is rarely the number actually originating the call. The number is usually spoofed.
