Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I received a recorded message on my cell phone from Apple Support that my Apple ID has been compromised. The message instructed me to contact Apple Support a specified phone number. Is this legitimate or scam?
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.
Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
