Call from Apple support

I keep getting a call on my home line that says it is from Apple support concerning my Icloud account. I doubt this is legitimate, but can you please verify. As it states my account was compromised.

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.
