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: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support


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

Its fake. Its a scam. Apple will never call you out of the blue for any reason whatsoever. They only call you if you had previsouly set up a call back with them for some issue.


You can verify your Apple ID by logging in to https://appleid.apple.com from any computer or device, or simply trying to do something on your Apple devices that would require your Apple ID such as opening your Apple ID from Settings->Account->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->View Apple ID.
