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.

I’ve also received about 15 calls from Puyallup, WA area number in a span of an hour and a half - same area code and first 3 digits but last 4 are different. Message says my ICloud has been hacked and asking me to “Press one to connect with Apple support advisor press two to listen to this message again or if you wish to contact us later please call us on my toll-free number 315-232-**** thank you…” Bi. Super annoying!!
