apple account phishing/security breach

Has anyone received an automated message from an 800 number stating apple account has been compromised and to contact? (of course press 1 now also an option)

Unfortunately, it is a very common 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.
