is there some kind of FaceTime hack going on? I am getting random calls. ID is from my contacts list but strangers are on the other end of the call???/
iPhone 6, iOS 11
All calls like the one you received are scams/phishing attempts. They are made by criminals that prey on the unwary. Apple never would make a call like this. Apple only calls if a user if the user has arranged the call. Note that I am not aware that FaceTime is connected with such calls.

Sounds like someone's contacts list (not yours) was obtained by hackers, usually this is through Facebook or similar apps.
I am getting random calls from strangers through FaceTime. it shows an address from my contacts but is a random person. seems like some kind of hacking????
