Is this a scam?

Recording says my iCloud account has been breeched and before using any Apple device to press 1 to speak to Apple Support or call back 208-262-****. I've received 7 calls as of this writing. The calls are coming every 10 minutes or so. I let the first 6 calls go into v-mail. This is so annoying and disrupting and it's a Sunday afternoon!

It is indeed a 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.
