Yesterday I got phone calls on my landline about my apple account being breached. They called over 40 times in a 4 hour period. Anyone else get this?

If you get a suspicious phone call or voicemail


Scammers may spoof legitimate company phone numbers and use flattery and threats to pressure you into giving them information, money, and even iTunes gift cards. If you get an unsolicited or suspicious phone call from someone claiming to be from Apple, just hang up.


You can report fraudulent tech support calls to the Federal Trade Commission (U.S. only) at www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov or to your local law enforcement agency.
