Scam or “Actual call from Apple”?

I’m getting repeated pre-recorded calls from “Apple” from different city locations stating my iCloud account has been breached? The recorded voice states I’m to press one. I did but was on hold and got freaked out so I hung up. I’ve gotten four or five call.

Doesn’t sound correct?

Definite 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.
