Security calls from Apple?

Hey I’m new to an iPhone but I have received calls in the past couple of days saying that my iPhone has a security issue and that I need to either press one to talk to associate through the phone number or I could go to the website but upon coming to the website I couldn’t find nothing specifically wrong with my phone in my account so is that just another one of these scams going around or this Apple actually do that?

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.
